I Love My Doctor, But... by Lawrence W. Gold, M.D.

[sailchap01]

I've published six novels, all with medical themes, but this is my first non-fiction work.
The idea for this book has been brewing in my head for years, and with the continued debate over healthcare, I thought I'd have my say. The book deals with serious material presented in a lighthearted and humorous way.

You have questions for your physician, but don’t ask them?
Your physician has questions for you, but he/she doesn’t ask them.
That’s one hell of a way to run an airline, a railroad, a government, or a medical practice.
Why?
Fault is besides the point, but difficult or painful questions unasked or unanswered threatens your health and compromises the physician’s ability to help.
I Love My Doctor, But… empowers patients and their physicians and offers common sense solutions to important problems in medicine today.
The book makes specific suggestions about:
1. Malpractice
2. How much care is enough
3. Matching patient and physician
4. Finding a physician
5. Online information
6. Getting along with your physician
7. Take away suggestions
8. When to go to the emergency room
9. Glossaries: medical terminology and medical specialists
