The Patient's Guide to the Complete Medical Examination and the Prevention of Medical Errors

This book was a great source of advise. It guided me and help me make some decisions. Dr.Cohen writes a very clear and easy for the lay person to understand. D.Murphy

Dr. Cohen's thorough coverage of each step of your annual exam prepares you for an interactive exam with your physician. Better communication avoids missed questions and helps prevent possible errors in your health care. Thank you Dr. Cohen, for this user-friendly guide enlightening us all to be informed patients!

Everyone should take a more active role in monitoring his own personal health. Dr. Cohen walks the lay person through the physical exam and the areas where medical errors are liable to occur. He breaks down the mystery of medical data we are given and don't understand from our doctors. The book is well written and provides much insight into what a lay person may encounter during medical procedures. Highly recommended!

A group of instructors at The Institute of Continued Learning, Roosevelt University in Schaumburg, IL were so impressed with Dr. Cohen's book they are giving a summer course based on it. The doctor dispenses vital information regarding the avoidance of medical errors as he leads the patient through the complex medical exam with the ease of clear writing, giving impressive examples to draw from while focusing on the importance of personal health care awareness. This excellent book should be a staple in everyone's library. It's an easy read and the information on websites and recommended books at the back are well worth the price alone. M. Temple ICL-Roosevelt U. Schaumburg, IL.

As a physician, I strongly recommend this important book. Many if not most, patients have habitually accepted the advice of their physicians,their prescriptions and the meds handed out by nurses in hospitals or pharmacists without getting themselves informed about their own treatment. This invaluable book provides all the information and encouragment the public needs to get deeply involved in understanding their own care. The result of being well-informed could well-be life saving if it helps avoid medical errors. A. Sommaripa MD
