Sinopsis

Nothing is Risk-Free in Health Care is not a "scare" book but actually an "alert" book, calling patients' attention to some of the many risks existing in everyone's medical care-and offering some hints on how to decrease many of those risks. Written in an easy-reading conversational style, he reviews several aspects of medical care-physicians, pharmacists, surgery, mental health, hospitals and those risks people create for themselves. Throughout it all, he stresses the importance of the patient's constant awareness of risks and looking for ways to avoid or eliminate them. His advice is for the patient to take responsibility for his own health care.
