It had some neat little tips, but lots of the info was written for Americans and not as applicable to me as a Canadian.Mar 03, 2008
This is a Must Read book! It addresses your personal health in a way few other books do and tells you how to get the most out of your healthcare!Sep 23, 2012
What did I gain from this book? Pretty much n othingJan 18, 2009
There were some good suggestions, but it is not very specific in how to work the system. "Ask a unit nurse for recommendations" is good advice, but it doesn't tell you how to get in contact with one.Jul 12, 2014
A quick, light and breezy read. Full of useful information. Even more useful is to implement the advice offered.Jul 12, 2008
I started reading this as a follow on to YOU: The Owner's Manual, but have never managed to finish it.Sep 13, 2009
Great advice for being assertive with doctors and knowing what to ask for.Aug 19, 2007
I'm so bored of this book. I wouldn't say it's horrible or anything but I can't find the motivation to get back into it. I only read like the first 2 chapters. I'm creating a new shelf just for this kind of thing.Aug 06, 2008
This book has some great information on how to track your health and what family history is important. I do think that this book is geared towards people with existing health issues and there is a lot of material on how to select a specialist.Jun 03, 2018
Lots of good info. Written to help us understand the medical field. Very helpful bookOct 04, 2011
It's very biased to the US but the info contained within is good. Can serve as a good reference and put htings in perspective. Stimulate thoughts and helps one plot a path to being a smart patient indeed.Jan 28, 2010
Found lots of helpful information to help me make it through the next few health issues alive and better off than I was before. I must read for anything who wants to plan an active roll in their health care. I will be passing this book along to a friend to read.Sep 12, 2012
Everyone should read this. People would be much more likely to recieve quality health care and less health care overall if they would read this and then do the things outlined to prepare and protect ones own health.Oct 02, 2008
This book is a must-read for anyone who is interested in his/her health. It is also a must-read for caregivers. A nurse highly recommended it to me when my mother was a cancer patient this summer. Although my mother lost the battle with this dreaded disease, I became a better caregiver to her and am now a smarter patient because of this book.Sep 01, 2012
Would be a good read for a new patient but, for me didn't offer a ton of new knowledge that I haven't already learned through 30 years with chronic illnesses. I do however rate it with 3 stars because the information is good information for someone who might be new to the medical ways.Aug 06, 2010
To be fair, I've only read the chapter on alternative medicine in its entirety. I skimmed the rest of the book though, and it seems to be a practical beginner's guide to modern healthcare. Although by its publishing date, I'm sure a lot of the data is inaccurate now, but it does list a lot of other references/websites.Dec 27, 2007
I learned that I am in charge of my own healthcare. Doctors are the resources at my fingertips and there are times when I know more than they do. I am on the one with the most interest in my health and therefore am best equipped to be at the helm. Don't be scared to control your next doctors appointment. Have the questions you want answered already thought out before your next visit so that you do not get sidetracked or rushed.Nov 04, 2011
Ha! Finally! Felt like it took forever to read. This is a surprisingly useful book. I had dismissed it as something that wouldnt be applicable to me at all, but I took lessons and advice away from actually every chapter. I realized that I dont have a comprehensive record of my tests done, or have a 'Health advocate" etc, and some topics have inspired me to do a bit more research over here, such as Organ donation. A good and useful read, and contemplation of your own mortality isnt so bad when Ha! Finally! Felt like it took forever to read. This is a surprisingly useful book.
