Review:

Take This Book To The Hospital With You provides "inside" information that will protect the reader from getting ripped off by inappropriate hospital activities and charges. Take This Book To The Hospital With You will show how to scrutizine a hospital bill for errors (more than 90% of hospital bills errors -- usually in favor of the hospital); avoid signing away your rights on hospital consent forms; get the treatment you need even if your managed-care comany disagrees; find out which hospital departments are most likely to commit malpractice, and much more. Lively, impassioned and practical, Take This Book To The Hospital With You is the savvy medical consumer's most powerful defense against the medical minefield known as a hospital. If community library acquisition budget will only permit one new medical reference title this year, then make that selection Take This Book To The Hospital With You. -- Midwest Book Review
