Customer Reviews
"I wish I had this tool when I first sought a diagnosis..."
Written By:
Having been through the medical maze to find the correct diagnosis for my illness, Fibromyalgia Syndrome, I have learned the hard way how to "micro-manage" my health.

If this book had been available when I began my journey, I think I would have been able to eliminate a lot of time spent on the heart-ache of mis-communication, and expectations that weren't realized.

The "insider tips" and the forms would have been invaluable in communicating with the plethora of medical specialists I had to see to get a correct diagnosis.

Thank you for this book!

"Great suggestions for organizing your own health care!"
Written By:
After hearing two of the authors interviewed on PBS, I obtained a copy of the book. It is full of great information and exercises to help someone prepare, conduct, and plan their own health care. There's lots of suggestions for working with one's doctor to get the information they want to know. Very helpful for anyone who's frustrated or uncomfortable with their current situation.
"One of the best guides around for the medical system"
Written By:
Even though I've had substantial exposure and experience with the medical system in this country, I learned many things from this book as to how to effectively utilize my doctor and other medical institutions. I liked this book so much that I'm sending copies to my friends and family.
