Saving Medicine A Doctor's Prescription for Reviving a Dying Health Care System
Author: Max Gerald Garoutte, MD

Texas Doctor Provides His Prescription for a Dying Health Care System in His New Book, Saving Health Care With the threat of socialized medicine in the United States looming on the horizon, Dr. Max Garoutte, M.D., a prevention and wellness advocate is fighting for patient rights to good health care by offering a straight forward soluti... more »on to our health care crisis. In plain English, and with simple accounting, Dr. Garoutte outlines a straightforward plan that can empower patients and relieve tax payer burden for the growing health care problem. As an in-the-trenches physician specializing in cardiovascular diseases, Dr. Garoutte has real world experience in fighting for his patient s rights to get life-saving medical care. In his first book, Maximum Destiny, he defined comprehensive yet straight forward lifestyle changes that could lead a patient to physical, mental and spiritual wellness. His prevailing mantra in Maximum Destiny and his new book, Saving Medicine-A Doctor s Prescription for a Dying Health Care System , is to empower the patient to manage their own health care in a collaborative relationship with their doctor. His belief is that by empowering the individual to take control of his health care decisions, we will have a healthier society that will manifest significant cost savings to the U.S. tax payer. Effectively, he is introducing personal accountability into an individual s lifestyle and health care decisions by promoting proactive, patient initiated programs of wellness. His goal is to reconnect the patient with the physician and reduce third party interference in the clinical decision making process. Dr. Garoutte s two decades of practical experience in communication of complex medical issues in a patient-friendly manner has allowed him to write a pragmatic treatise on health care reform. By outlining the importance of health care saving accounts, comprehensive wellness programs, prescription drug access and care for the uninsured, he has laid a foundation that could revolutionize the way health care is delivered in the United States. His book carefully outlines the deficiencies of socialized medicine in other countries while he advocates for a program that would eventually result in each U.S. citizen being effectively self-insured. His program specifically allows for portability of insurance while ultimately relieving the growing burden of health care insurance from the business sector and the government. He poignantly reviews the sensitive area of end-of-life care in a way that explains the importance of Living Wills and Advanced Directives to Physicians. With over 40% of the physicians over the age of 50 years old considering reduction in workload or retirement if socialized medicine comes to fruition, the United States is on the precipice of a total collapse of the health care system. Dr. Max Garoutte supplies a sensible approach to a complex problem in a way that most of the participants in the health care system are aligned to benefit all. Max Gerald Garoutte, MD, FACC, FCCP, Dr. Max , is a San Antonio physician, patient advocate and motivational speaker specializing in general, non-invasive, invasive and interventional cardiology. He has a special interest in wellness and prevention with a focus on integrative medicine. Dr. Max is regularly featured on local television and radio including San Antonio Solutions on KTSA and JACK-FM. He is the author of Maximum Destiny: Realizing Your Path to Ultimate Fulfillment and his latest book, Saving Medicine: A Doctor s Prescription for Reviving a Dying Health Care System . He can be contacted at 210-654-6000 or by visiting his website at maximumdestiny.com.
