See What Reviewers are Saying

"People need to be more educated in regard to the pitfalls of medicine - to be more empowered to their own healthcare. The book may be the gift of life - theirs." Lawrence Land, Attorney "I purchased the book because my husband Dan, a gastroenterologist, would find it of interest." Lynn Neumann, Attorney for The Norfolk Foundation "I teach two courses to the brightest of the seniors in the city (of Norfolk/Virginia Beach), and keep them up to date on current events and will use in those classes at Talbot on Granby and The Terrace." Castle Craddock, retired teacher and volunteer teacher "I was always aware of the things that go wrong in hospitals (own personal experience with my maternal grandmother dying because of a punctured colon), and this book is filled with information of these self same incidents of misdiagnoses, wrong medications, patients left alone so long they are in danger of dying, if not dying - warnings for us to know if we or a loved one find themselves in hospital." Bonnie Primm, Certified Life Coach and Consultant

What a lifesaver

The info in this book is so critical for anyone who has ever been a patient in the US Healthcare system to be aware of. Recently my daughter was hospitalized and I asked that every nurse entering her room wash their hands before doing anything in her room. I felt that I had learned what questions to ask and what to look out for to keep my child safe and to help prevent secondary infections. Thank you Dr. McFadden for this wonderful lifesaving book!
