I was afraid a book by a doctor would be too technical and difficult. "Special Treatment" puts in laymen's terms what we need to know when dealing with doctors, diesease and more. Informative without being preachy!

A lady doctor tells the truth!

I couldn't find a better book to advise me on dealing with doctors...I've seen Dr. Dumas on TV, and she's great with her simple explanations of medicine. The book is even better! Her side kick throws in a couple of good lines too.

Finally! A book for the rest of us!

What a great book! Readable, clearly written, and chock full of useful information. I'm about to have surgery, and was given this book as a gift, and it's already helped me deal with my doctors in a better informed fashion and I know I'm getting better care because of it. This book is great to have around the house, just in case, and it's a terrific and thoughtful gift!
