Hey folks-
I want to tell you about a book my good friend Tory Zellick put together, the Medical Day Planner. We all hope that we remain healthy and never need more than a check-up from our medical system…but what if that is not the case? Tory put this book together after navigating the tragedy of her mother’s 6 year battle with breast cancer. She saw the best and worst of our medical system, and realized most people need some way of organizing a huge amount of critical information surrounding doctors visits, medications etc. If you can pass this along to medical professionals, heads of hospitals etc it will help a lot of people.

About the Author:
Tory Zellick is a young woman who transitioned into adulthood while caring for, and emotionally supporting, her mother through a six-and-a-half year battle with breast cancer. At the age of eighteen, Tory found herself traveling the unanticipated path of caregiver; overwhelmed and unsure of what was to come next.
After her mother’s passing in 2009, Tory, along with her father and brother, spent time traveling through South East Asia, reflecting on all that had occurred over the past several years. Out of that reflection time was born The Medical Day Planner. It is Tory’s hope that The Medical Day Planner will provide organizational help and guidance to others who find themselves in a similar caregiving situation.

This a great idea…i’ll pick one up although i hope i never have to use it for me or my wife.
This book is a great idea, everyone should have one. My wife went through a stroke, open heart surgery and had a by pass last year. I was by her side the entire time because she could not comprehend what was happening. I found out the hard way that our medical system SUCKS, BIGTIME. YOU have to take charge of your own (or a loved one’s) medical healthcare, you CANNOT depend on the system. The medical care she received was outstanding, but you have to remember these people are only HUMAN, they are taking care of many patients at the same time and they CANNOT give the undivided attention to you that you may require. I started my own journal at the time to keep track of all doctor appointments, tests and results and found it very helpful to refer back to.
Just ordered it … thank you. I will share this on Facebook as well. What a great idea!
