Trisha Torrey’s Summary

After eight years as a classroom teacher, then a 20 year career in marketing, I began my consultancy as Every Patient's Advocate after experiencing a heinous misdiagnosis.

Today I write newspaper columns, host a health and wellness radio talk show, speak across the country to patients and professionals, and host two large websites located at EveryPatientsAdvocate.com and About.com (http://patients.about.com)
