I found Going Under filled with useful information that helped me get through my recent hernia surgery. Sometimes you get skeptical about relaxation techniques, but the ones given here really worked for me. I also like the tone of the book. It is respectful yet informative.

I have enjoyed Dr. Furlong's television show on public TV for some time, especially because she shies away from easy answers to tough health questions. Going Under is a book without the usual fill. Even though mind/body techniques seem to be paramount in Dr. Furlong's philosophy, she is not afraid to bring up the issue of the appropriate use of narcotic drugs for surgical pain. I understand pain issues better now that I have read this book.

I want to commend Dr. Furlong for her unique contribution to books on healing. The techniques she outlined were excellent and helped me get over a lot of my apprehension before my surgery. A thorough book like this in this area was needed.

This is the rare no fluff fat free book that gets right to the point.

I was able to have less pain because of this book. In six weeks I have to undergo another surgery. I am less afraid and I think this helps me heal.
