Six months into her research for The Take-Charge Patient, Martine developed debilitating, chronic pain that lasted sixteen months and used every strategy in her new book. She went from an advocate for others to an advocate for herself, and became her own take-charge patient. After eleven doctors failed to diagnose her correctly, Martine’s exhaustive research led her to the surgeon who diagnosed her and cured her. She is has been pain free for two years.
Martine is board member of The Red Cross, Santa Monica Bay Chapter. She has a master’s degree in psychology from Pepperdine University and earned a graduate certificate in patient advocacy from UCLA. Prior to becoming a health writer and patient advocate, Martine was a journalist, ghostwriter and public relations professional. She also created and ran a writing program for at-risk teenagers. Her personal experience with loved ones with extended hospitalizations changed her career path in 2001.
