Rebel Health: A Field Guide to the Patient-Led Revolution in Medical Care By Susannah Fox

In "Rebel Health," Susannah Fox offers an action-oriented and radically hopeful field guide to the underground, patient-led revolution for better health and health care. Drawing on twenty years of tracking the expert networks of patients, survivors, and caregivers who have come of age between the cracks of the health care system, Fox provides a way forward for those who have fallen off the conveyor belt of mainstream health care.

Covering everything from diabetes to ALS to Moebius Syndrome to chronic disease management, Fox taps into the wisdom of these individuals, learns their ways, and fuels the rebel alliance that is building up our collective capacity for better health. She identifies and describes four archetypes of this revolution: seekers, networkers, solvers, and champions.

Each chapter includes tips, such as picking a proxy to help navigate relevant online communities or learning how to pitch new ideas to investors and partners or new treatments to the FDA. On a personal level, anyone who wants to navigate the health care maze faster will want to become a health rebel or recruit some to their team. On a systemic level, it is a competitive advantage for businesses, governments, and organizations to understand and leverage the power of connection among patients, survivors, and caregivers.

"Rebel Health" is a proactive, optimistic, and innovative guide for anyone who wishes to join the health rebel alliance and become the hero of their own story. 📚❤️
