Greystone Books, 2009 - 238 頁

A well-balanced, accessible guide to taking control of your personal health.

Despite lifesaving technologies and wonder drugs, much is wrong with modern medicine. From diagnosis and treatment to medical politics and economics, Ten Questions You Must Ask Your Doctor sounds the alarm, without being alarmist, about the pitfalls of the medical system.

Health writers Moynihan and Sweet take a balanced approach to prescription drugs and natural remedies alike and conclude each chapter with questions that patients can take with them to their doctors' offices. They discuss:

  • the downsides of medical testing
  • misdiagnosis and side effects
  • withheld information about treatment options and operations who profits from various procedures
  • a variety of conditions, including adhd, osteoporosis, and back pain
