Awesome Book

Healthcare is an industry full of misunderstanding, mostly because there are so many facets to it, and comprehending all of them is a challenge, in itself Wurman's book is a terrific guide, mainly because he comprehensively describes every facet of healthcare, but the genius behind this book is the fact that every facet is described both in text and through picture Wurman has gone at lengths to provide us with many illustrations, statistics, and charts/graphs to illustrate all of his biggest points, regarding the healthcare industry today ----- in turn, the book takes very complicated ideas, but presents them in ways that are easy to read, see, and learn Overall, its the best reference book to healthcare that I have seen, outside of books that are stricly meant for doctors or administrators highly recommended! HAPPY READING!!!!!

A tool for all doctor visits

Richard Wurman has provided a set of tools that will make a visit to the doctor better. Information is provided in an organized and useful manner, empowering patients to stay in control of their health care decision making. Everyone should take this book with them on each visit, ensuring that you will leave the office with improved health (and a health plan more focused on your needs).

What a great tool!!

I was so delighted to see that Richard Saul Wurman and Johnson & Johnson had come together to create a book on one of the most important topics of our lifetime. Healthcare. This is a great book, full of lots of information and beautifully illustrated. I am sending everyone in my family one. Thank you.
