Patients increasingly and correctly feel that they are on their own in a large, bewildering, impersonal, and dangerous medical system.Offering an insider's perspective, Dr. Kussin provides the tools readers need to make informed decisions about their care, as well as the confidence to question their doctor's advice, seek out additional information, and discern the best path for their care.
