"There was a time when doctors actually spent tranquil minutes with their patients, answering questions and addressing the patient's concerns. Today, with the time pressures we all seem to be under and with the advent of managed health care, this seems to be a thing of the past. Yet, more now than ever, each of us has to take control of our own health care. And this means getting the information you need from your doctor so you can make informed decisions." "How To Talk To Your Doctor shows you how to get this information. You will also learn how to navigate through the accompanying maze of prescriptions and tests with an eye to discerning their necessity and value and you will learn how to save time and money while doing it. This book is especially beneficial to those facing a serious or prolonged illness and for those who act as medical advocates for their children, aging parents, or others. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.
