• Summary:Patients increasingly and correctly feel that they are on their own in an impersonal and dangerous medical system. Offering an insider's perspective, Kussin's book teaches readers how to be better patients in order to get better care, offers access to industrial-strength resources, and promotes an attitude that will prevent alienation and manipulation. The guidance offered in this book will empower the healthy and prevent error and misadventures in the ill. "Doctor, your patient will see you now" enables patients to arrive at their own valid and authentic opinions and act on them in partnership with their clinicians or, if necessary, independently.
