From the Back Cover:

What our readers say about the CareWise(r) guide.

"I like to take responsibility for my own health and body...Caring for myself and avoiding unnecessary medical expenses help me focus my energy on getting well sooner."

"I really like the way the guide is laid out. The flowcharts ask you questions that help you decide what to do based on your answers. For example, if you answer 'yes' to a question, then the flowchart will indicate you may need to go to the doctor; if you answer 'no' then maybe you don't. The book is laid out so that people can find information quickly."

"It is well-done. When I look for certain information in the book, it's there."

"I have small children - I pick up the CareWise guide and use it all the time."

"It's a nice reference book. It helps you decide when you should call the doctor, and it details self-care that we can use for minor ailments. It gives you things to try before you call or visit the doctor."

"The guide is very helpful. It's the first resource I can go to when I have a medical concern."
