The Health Decisions Nobody Taught You

Most people learn how to navigate medications, insurance denials, and confusing doctor visits the hard way — in an emergency room, mid-crisis, with no time to think clearly. This book moves that education earlier.

Drawing on more than a decade inside managed care and prior authorization review, pharmacist Adetayo Ogunsanya gives you the S.A.F.E. framework: See the whole picture, Ask before acting, Follow and verify, and Escalate appropriately — a simple method for the medication decisions, insurance denials, medical emergencies, and everyday health choices almost no one prepares you for.

Inside, you'll find real, practical guidance across 28 chapters for starting or stopping a medication safely, handling a prior authorization denial, a frightening new symptom or a child sick at night, hospital discharge, a new diagnosis, and reducing prescription costs that actually work.
