Online, he read that his median survival time was 24 weeks. Laugh, Sing and Eat Like a Pig is Dave's story in his own words: excerpts from his cancer journal and later writings as he discovered the e-patient movement - "Empowered, Engaged, Equipped, Enabled" - and became its best-known blogger, speaker, and government policy advisor. The true story of "e-Patient Dave" will inspire you and fill you with a sense that a new world is beginning, a world in which empowered patients partner with medical professionals, to truly help heal healthcare.
