Summary: Supplement it with a medical handbook
Comment: I found this book disappointing. I started by looking up breast cancer, a most common female problem. It did not appear in the list of chapters or in the index. I then checked all 27 general references under cancer. In many of the pages just the word 'cancer' appeared with no more information. I could not find any information on breast cancer.
Next I tried prostate cancer but all I found was a mention of this problem at the end of the book under checkups in adult life.
There is, however, a complete chapter of ten pages devoted to Lyme disease, surely not one of the major scourges of mankind.

Much of this book is useful but it certainly needs to be supplemented by a good medical handbook.

Summary: Power to the Patient
Comment: This is quite simply the best book I have ever read by a doctor written for patients. Dr. Rosenfeld is not only very experienced and knowledgeable, but he writes so that I can understand. Some of my closest friends have medical problems that they have discussed with me. There is more information in this book than their doctors ever told them. It's great.

Summary: So you're sick; do you need a doctor, a lawyer or this book?
Comment: Yeah, welcome to the world of modern medical care. Depending on how good your medical plan is, or even how good your doctor is at listening to you, you may or may NOT get the care you need and are, I might add, paying for.

This book helps you see to it that your health care provider (ie, HMO or medical plan) and doctor are giving you the best care possible, the care that is right for you.

The idea of patients as advocates for their health is not new, but this book lists common ailments such as gall bladder, Parkinson's and gives the spin on how to get your doctor to give you the best treatment.

What's really a crying shame is that when people are ill, they are not equipped to do battle with their health care provider and doctor. So make sure you have a family member read this book, in case one day you are too ill to fight for your own health care needs.
