The right questions for your doctor

We all go to our doctor with a mind full of things to ask, but somehow we never get to them and can come out of the office feeling just as confused as when we went in or even worse--we hated the entire experience. This book can alleviate those fears and help you and your doctor achieve the satisfaction and productive visit you both want. I found the book helpful and informative about various issues regarding patient care.
