About the Author: Tommy T. Douglas

Tommy T. Douglas is a patient-advocate and independent researcher specializing in geriatric health literacy. Living with a complex profile of chronic conditions—including decompensated liver cirrhosis, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease—Tommy provides a rare "dual perspective" that bridges the gap between clinical guidelines and the patient experience.

With a professional background in precision machining, Tommy applies the same standards of rigorous accuracy and microscopic detail to medical literature review. He translates high-level data from the AASLD, NIH, and CDC into actionable insights for seniors and caregivers.

As a regular participant in clinical research and a dedicated patient-advocate, Tommy’s work is focused on Health Agency: empowering readers with the clinical language and confidence needed to navigate the modern healthcare system.
