Offers advice on finding good, affordable health care and taking an active part in one's own health-care routine, with advice on judging a doctor's competency and understanding how medicines work

Reviews

Participate in your own health care, urges popular medical broadcaster Hensel, by learning how to pick doctors, examine yourself, and decide if a test is necessary. Much of the text is a lay guide to numerous common tests--what they are used for, when they should be performed, and what their dangers are. A better title might have been Smart Patients ; Hensel underestimates the difficulty of finding an M.D. who will be so collaborative. But this is sensible, mainstream advice for general readers who want to get their money's worth--and protect themselves--from costly medical appointments. For public libraries.
