I'm awaiting the proof of my first non-fiction book, I Love MT Doctor, But...
It's a humorous book on a serious subject, patients and their physicians.
This is the blurb I'll be using in promotion:
You have questions for your physician, but don’t ask
them?
Your physician has questions for you, but he/she
doesn’t ask them.
That’s one hell of a way to run an airline, a
railroad, a government, or a medical practice.
Why?
Fault is besides the point, but difficult or painful
questions unasked or unanswered threatens your health and compromises the
physician’s ability to help.
You have something that you want to confide to your
physician, but you don’t. You sigh with relief when he/she doesn’t ask.
You’re a physician and you need the answers to
questions that might make your patient uncomfortable. You’re relieved when
he/she doesn’t ask or you run out of time.
Patients and physicians are limited in their ability
to predict which questions will be unwelcome and you might be surprised by the
response.
If it’s important, ask.
I Love My Doctor, But… empowers patients and their physicians
and offers common sense answers to important questions.
The book deals with important issues and makes
specific suggestions about:
1. Malpractice
2. How
much care is enough
3. Matching
patient and physician
4. Finding
a physician
5. Online
information
6. Getting
along with your physician
7. Take
away suggestions
8. When
to go to the emergency room
9. Glossaries:
medical terminology and medical specialists
