Richard A. Gilbert (Westlake, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Art of Being a Patient: Taming Medicine--An Insider's Guide, Become a Proactive Partner and Self-Advocate of Your Own Health by Understanding (Paperback)
I found this book to be excellent... it empowers patients. Dr. Caravella explains in easy-to-understand language the delicate balance between doctor and patient.

This book de-mystifies the intimdating process of being an active participant in one's own healthcare.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT REFERENCE BOOK, February 9, 2001
By 
Dorothy M. Ritter (Westlake, OH United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Art of Being a Patient: Taming Medicine--An Insider's Guide, Become a Proactive Partner and Self-Advocate of Your Own Health by Understanding (Paperback)
Every household should have this book along with encyclopedias and a dictionary. Dr. Caravella writes so the ordinary layman can understand the issues. He also writes without regard to a physician's point of view, and keeps the patient uppermost in his mind. I would encourage everyoneI know to purchase this book, and keep it to refer to it as needed. Also Dr. Caravella practices what he preaches. I know as I have been exposed to his medical help over a period of 20 years. Nice job.
