From the Back Cover
"As a fellow lymphoma patient, I found this book indispensable. But it is also tremendously useful for anyone who interacts with doctors - which means everyone. Schneider shows how to talk back to your doctor politely and begin the conversation that might save your life." (Jonathan Alter, Newsweek)
"Congratulations on your exceptional manuscript -- and even more, for the extraordinary personal journey it portrays. I prefer to think you are the model for "the empowered patient" rather than "the patient from Hell." As a physician, my patients from Hell were the ones in denial about their illness who failed to take any responsibility for their care or follow up, and you are the opposite." (Harvey Fineberg, MD, Ph.D. President, Institute of Medicine, National Academy of Sciences()
"This is a compelling story of a frightening medical adventure. Although few of us will bring Steve Schneider's scientific skills to such an experience, there's a lesson for all of us: be your own advocate, question everything, and don't take less than a clear answer." (Donald Kennedy, Ph.D. Editor-in-Chief Science, former Commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration)
"Both I and my wife [a cancer survivor] find this book terrific. In many ways, it is without precedent." (Gary Schoolnik, Professor and Chief, Division of Geographic Medicine and Infectious Diseases Microbiology and Immunology, Stanford University School of Medicine)
