Description
"Surviving Modern Medicine is the first how-to guide to focus on the practical steps consumers must take to navigate today's confusing medical world to dramatically improve the quality of care they receive. Authors Peter Clarke and Susan H. Evans dig through leading medical and psychological research for down-to-earth tips that any patient can apply to open lines of communication with doctors, weigh the risks and benefits among treatment options, mobilize understanding and effective support from family and friends, overcome the fatigue and guilt of long-term caregiving, and control life-support situations to balance high-technology medical care against an acceptable quality of life."--Jacket.
