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).
