"Neil
is a great asset wherever he steps in."
- Dr. Patch Adams
"Have
you ever been to the doctor and left realizing you hadn't gotten
the answers to half of your questions? This book will help you develop
a relationship with your doctor and guide you through the sometimes
perplexing health care system. You will learn about your body and
the tools for good health care. It is a good book for family caregivers,
too, who often spend many hours dealing with doctors on behalf of
their loved ones. The section on health promotion is especially
valuable for caregivers in their efforts to care for themselves
while caring for a family member. It is an excellent reference book
that is hard to put down once you begin reading."

your doctor. This book is a tool to help you take that second, crucial
step."

"[A]n
exceptionally clear and helpful guide for consumers and practitioners
alike. The future of medical care will be based on the informed
user of health care; this book will help point the way. No patient
or future patient should be without this book!"
