If you think you'll ever be a patient, read this book.
4 May 2010
Format:Paperback
What an eye opener! This concise book is more than just an engaging insider's view of U.S. physicians and hospitals. It is a highly readable tale of the good, the bad, and the ugly in medical care. Plus, the reader gets, simple, accurate, information to research her own health care options. My husband and I both just read it and vow to follow through on checking our providers and our hospital choices. We've already learned that, in our case, our local hospital is NOT the place to go for cardiac care!
The author doesn't slam American medicine --- quite the contrary. But he knows the pitfalls and medical mistakes being made in this country every day and tells the reader precisely how to avoid becoming one of those mistakes. Read this little book and then give it to your adult children or aging parents. You might well save your life or theirs.

Finally, a practical guide for consumers of hospital care
19 Jun 2010
Format:Paperback
This guy knows his stuff. Harden reveals the inner workings of hospitals in layman's terms to provide a very readable resource for increasing the likelihood of a successful hospital stay and decreasing the possibility of falling victim to systemic shortcomings.
Consistent quality care depends on accountability and transparency - this book is an important step toward achieving both.

Everyone needs to read this book
10 Jun 2010
Format:Paperback
This book presents clear, objective information and should be required reading for everyone who seeks heathcare, including healthcare providers. As a provider, I think I know what questions to ask, but when you are "in the moment", anxiety takes over. Using a checklist ensures that no critical information/question is missed. Great book -highly recommended for everyone.
