Sickened: How the Government Ruined Healthcare and How to Fix It Kindle Edition
A pivotal moment in our career as compounding pharmacists that forever changed everything.
Back in 2001, a morbidly obese patient came into our pharmacy. She was on around 20 different medications, ranging from high blood pressure to diabetes to high cholesterol. And they were costing her… Nothing.
We were creating no value in her life.
She didn’t care who we were.
She didn’t care about the medications.
She didn’t care about how they worked, or anything related because it was costing her nothing…
… WE were a part of the problem (regardless of economic policy or what’s learned in pharmacy school). Janet and I decided to change our commitment, and thus, our system.
Click BUY to learn what we did in 2002 as a business and economic solution that was in alignment with our 100% commitment to enable others to ACTUALLY better their health…
… which leads to better families,
… which leads to better communities.
(and how if you’re a healthcare provider, aspiring pharmacology entrepreneur, interested in relevant pragmatic or deconstruction examples, or saving money for your own family… YOU can make a difference, too)...
Our eyes and hearts were forever opened. Our commitment shifted that day to be a part of a positive solution. Period.
In Sickened: How the Government Ruined Healthcare and How to Fix It, learn Shawn’s 6-Step framework.
Practical. Proven. Common sense (with a twist). And jaw dropping patient and provider stories! Click to BUY, learn, save money, and be empowered.
For current or future pharmacy professionals, pharmacology students interested in learning how to make a REAL difference, interested in how to run a successful pharmacy business… medical professionals interested in examples and solutions for caregiving and medical ethics...
PLUS…
For those interested in not only a practical application of the philosophy of pragmatism and deconstruction, but ALSO economic policy in healthcare as it relates to the political science of our American government.
You’re not alone if you’re wondering if making changes in our current healthcare system is really a pipe dream or is doable for the average American today. This is the most exciting time in our country's history to be a problem solving, solution focused, health care entrepreneur today and in the coming 20+ years.
There IS a better way & hope for Healthcare in American... to ThinkOutsideTheSystem because OptimalHealthMatters.

- ARNP, Owner of Peak Performance & Prevention
"The federal government is the only health insurance company with tanks and F16's backing it. I felt like an accessory to the crime. So glad I am out of it. Thank you for writing this book."
- Co-Founder of The Surgery Center of Oklahoma and The Free Market Medical Association
"History is crystal clear. People pursuing their own self interests in their healthcare decisions tend to be the most healthy."

Tips on how to find alternatives to employer-provided insurance as well as low-cost DPC memberships, a growing area of choice for health care.
Dedicated health professionals are trying to move health care back to a relationship between you and your doctor, not your insurance company dictating what care you receive and how much you pay.
Highly recommended, especially for people who don't have employer-paid health insurance.

“The best health insurance we have is not something we can buy. It is how we take care of ourselves.” ~ Shawn Needham
Ask yourself this: Would you go to a dentist with yellow crooked teeth if you were paying out of pocket to have some work done?
(Exactly why I quit an HMO dentist and paid cash for a pediatric dentist for my daughter when she was young)
Highly recommend this quick read to get your health on track! Thanks Shawn for putting this out there, excellent book.
If you’ve ever considered a HealthShare, this will help you understand those too.
