My Medical Assistant
The Opinionated Parent
Wednesday, March 21st, 2007
Since becoming a parent, have you noticed a distinct
drop in brain power? Memory? Yeah, me too.
As parents, we’re responsible for taking our
children (and sometimes our spouses and our own parents)
to medical appointments and keeping on top of their
health. For the most part, I think we do pretty well.
However, in a stressful situation there’s a good
chance of forgetting something important.
If, heaven forbid, someone you love ever has a serious
injury or becomes extremely ill or disabled, chances
are high that the more appointments you attend and the
more specialists you talk to, the less you’ll
remember.
Since medical experts claim that doctors base approximately
80% of their diagnosis on what they are told about a
patient, My
Medical Assistant® could actually save a
life.
Created by Donna McCaslin, My
Medical Assistant® is a place to record all
of those facts. What may seem mundane at the time can
prove to be invaluable. For families, Donna has made
mini books available and a standard binder will easily
hold all of the books for a family of 4-6 people. The
nice thing about this option is that when your kids
move out (yes, they will) they can each take their own
book with them for future reference. (Don’t worry,
they’ll still call home if they don’t need
to ask when their last tetanus shot was.)
My
Medical Assistant® can be ordered online
at www.MyMedicalAssistant.com or by phone at (866) 366-6533.
Prices range from $7.95 for the Mini to $49.95 for the
Executive.
We have four great prizes from My
Medical Assistant® for lucky TOP readers.
The grand prize winner will receive a binder with 4
mini editions (valued at $46.80). Second place will
receive a Standard edition (valued at $21.95) and third
and fourth place will each receive a mini edition (valued
at $7.95).
