Product Description

Synopsis

Provides information on growth and development, staying well, first aid and emergency care, human diseases and disorders, and modern medical care.


From the Author

A book to help people live healthier lives
We published Mayo Clinic Family Health Book for one reason -- because we want to help people live healthier lives.

While my name appears on the cover of the book as the editor-in-chief, the author is Mayo Clinic. More than 400 Mayo physicians and other Mayo health professionals contributed to this book.

This is the Second Edition of Mayo Clinic Family Health Book. We reviewed every word of the original edition and added a new emphasis on staying well and self-help techniques. We added information and advice about current developments in medicine, nutrition, medications, medical tests, exercise and the healthcare system. We also developed an illustration section that helps people understand what happens inside the body if they experience back pain, hypertension, heart disease or breast cancer.

This book answers commonly asked questions about health at every stage of life and covers more than 1,000 diseases and illnesss.

Mayo Clinic Family Health Book is an example of Mayo's commitment to serve as a health information resource for the public and in providing information that is reliable and easy-to-understand. -- David E. Larson, M.D. Editor-in-Chief Mayo Clinic Family Health Book

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding for home or medical office use, 12 Aug 1999
By A Customer
The book offers great information from doctors, health care personnel and scientists. The color photos are great and offer a true look at medical conditions. The book has a volume of useful medical information, symptoms,treatments and medical procedure information that all can clearly understand. It is truly a book I enjoy having in my home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and easy to use, 26 Nov 1998
By A Customer
The Mayo Clinic family health book is indispensible for reliable descriptions of all common disorders as well as most obscure ones. Of course, it should not be used for self-diagnosis of serious conditions, but it can alert people about the dangers of some seemingly minor symptoms.
