What you don’t know about the American healthcare system might kill you.   From fatal malpractice to Medicare fraud, Dr. Stephen Soloway has seen it all over his thirty years practicing medicine. Now, the man known as “Dr. Trump” is ripping off the Band-Aid and exposing the truth about the American healthcare system—the good, the bad, and the rotten.   Page after shocking page, you’ll discover the truth about where the coronavirus came from, and if we’ll ever be able to cure it.   Learn the sad reality of what Medicare for All would mean for our nation.   Find out why you should stay away from hospitals as if your life depended on it. (It does.)   Dr. Soloway explains the medical tips and tricks that could save you from amputations, years of pain, or even death.   Appointed by President Donald Trump to the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, Dr. Soloway is a leader in his field, who sat on numerous boards and panels in the pharmacological industry, along with national advisory panels for major companies involved in arthritis or osteoporosis research. His uncanny ability to diagnose even the most complex cases has earned him the reputation of being a real-life Dr. House—minus the pill problem.   Beyond his savvy insights into the secrets of our medical system, Dr. Soloway also shares his own rags to riches story, and how dedicated medical professionals can still succeed in this difficult environment.   Ultimately, Dr. Soloway has a diagnosis for all Americans: Our healthcare system—and our country as a whole—is headed for disaster.

This book covers Ehlers-Danlos and hypermobility syndromes with an emphasis on treatment of the parasympathetic and sympathetic (P&S) nervous system dysfunctions. Unfortunately, most EDS/HSD patients have been misdiagnosed and misunderstood by providers.  EDS/HSD is a multisystem, multifaceted disorder that is poorly understood. The P&S manifestations and treatments are also poorly understood throughout the healthcare community.  To this end the authors wish to teach providers and patients alike to reduce the life-long suffering from both the disorder and the marginalization. There are two aspects of teaching that are required and provided by this book: improved understanding of EDS/HSD and improved understanding of P&S (autonomic) dysfunction and treatment.  For example, with the autonomic nervous system, more treatment or therapy is never better.  Relief of P&S dysfunction must be low and slow to prevent causing more symptoms from higher doses of medication or polypharmacy.  To this end, stress often sets patients back and both providers and patients alike must have proper expectations set for successfully improving patient outcomes (quality of life and productivity). The book starts with an introduction to and history of the disorder. Chapter II provides a review of the genetics of collagen, the source of the disorders.  Chapters III through IX detail the various forms of EDS/HSD and goes into more detail on the more common and more well-known variants of EDS/HSD. Chapter X discusses structural cardiovascular and pulmonary dysfunction associated with EDS/HSD.  Chapter XI discusses structural gastrointestinal and urogenital dysfunction associated with EDS/HSD.  The book ends with Chapter XII, which details the involvement of the P&S nervous systems and how to treat, which also has general application to other chronic disorders.This is an ideal guide for rheumatologists and primary care physicians treating patients with Ehlers-Danlos and hypermobility syndromes, and patients and their loved ones in understanding their disease and disorders and the associated treatments and therapies.
