The World's Best Doctor asks you to be your own doctor now,

This review is from: Doctor Generic Will See You Now : 33 Rules for Surviving Managed Care (Paperback)
In 1987, the World's Best Doctor wrote a handbook for other physicians (Kill as Few Patients as Possible), that hilariously passed on choice tricks of the trade. Now managed care has made it impossible for Dr. London to care for his patients in the exemplary fashion he laid out - and so he's written the book that will allow patients to get this excellent care on their own. From spelling out the medications and diagnostic interventions which have been proven to help prevent disease, to a list of the symptoms which mandate a visit to your doctor TODAY, this book may be lifesaving.

Not as good...,

This review is from: Doctor Generic Will See You Now : 33 Rules for Surviving Managed Care (Paperback)
Not nearly as amusing, nor as heartwarming, as Dr. London's first book, "Kill As Few Patients As Possible." Still an enjoyable read, just not as much fun.
