Dizziness and Vertigo: A Simple Guide to Figuring It Out

"Don't you understand, Doc, I'm just dizzy!"

As a "dizzy doctor," a specialist who accepted referrals of dizzy patients from other doctors, ear surgeon Dr. William Wright became the "go to" resource for patients with difficult balance problems.

He found that patients could often tell him the diagnosis if he just asked the right questions. Here he distills 30 years of experience into a simple guide for the non-medical person suffering from dizziness.

William Wright, M.D., currently Medical Director of the Cheyenne Mountain Re-entry Center, is a graduate of the University of Michigan Medical School. A private pilot, he is the holder of three black belts and instructor certifications in Tae Kwon Do and Aikido. He is a commercial artist (www.WilliamWrightArt.com) and plays guitar poorly in his spare time. He lives in Colorado Springs with his wife, Mollie, and a variable number of fur-bearing companions. His first book, Maximum Insecurity, is a memoir of his eight years as the physician in Colorado’s supermax prison. Jailhouse Doc, his second, is a memoir of his time as Medical Director of the El Paso Criminal Justice Center in Colorado Springs.
