(Should you go alone or should you take a knowledgeable person to help with the reams of paperwork, signature requests, and oher nerve-wracking procedures? -Should you enter a hospital alone or arrange for a 24/7 "advocate"? -How hospital patients can protect themselves from the many dangers faced by all patients. -Where and how to safely buy medications: In or out of the U.S?
