This book was an eye opener for me. Mr. Stevens incorporates traditional medicine with alternative suggestions. His advice on searching out all options available to patients was enlightening. It is an easy read with important information for the patient and the caretaker.

His devotion to his wife through all the trauma and multiple illness is a tribute. I recommend this book highly.

This book lays out clearly how to stay out of the hospital (if you aren't in one now), and how to survive the hospital (if you're in one).

Practical, step-by-step advice. No nonsense, no filler. Up-to-the-minute. Essential.

Dick's rules saved my mothers life !

...his easy to follow, no nonsense rules really work.

Taking charge of my mothers medical treatment while she was in the hospital

was the only way we were able to ensure she got the proper care she

needed.

dick and joan stevens have used their experiences through the years to create the most helpful guide for anyone facing health issues. it is a lively and informative read. a great gift for yourself, your family members and all your friends. i loved what i learned from them. thank you dick and joan!

As a Medical doctor with 46 years of clinical practice experience, and having recently survived a catastrophic, life-threatening, acute spinal epidural abscess, I can readily attest to the authors' many harrowing and nearly disastrous examples when being hospitalized for a critical care emergency. The book was very well written. The information was up-beat, organized, and easy to read. I think it is an important book, that needs to be read by everyone. It is up each one of us to be as aware as possible of all our options, and be able to take a pro-active role in our own, or our loved-one's health care decisions.

My husband, and I are long time friends of Dick, and Joan, and basically have lived through all the trials, and tribulations they went through with them. Some people might say, how could this all be true. I can verify that it is true, and actually happened to them. The most important thing I learned from the book is the fact that none of us can go through this alone. We wouldn't have a chance to survive. We all need help, and hopefully can find it. Someone to watch the medications, write down what the Doctor is saying to us, making sure the nurse washes her hands before she touches our loved one. I am so proud of them, I call Dick, the man with 9 lives. Paula Klug

I wish I'd had this book when my husband faced surgery! Warm, friendly, detailed tips on how to stay calm and focused to get the best health care for your loved one.

Understandable and easy to follow advice from a couple who've been there. Patients and caregivers will benefit from how to ask questions and choose a health care provider to where to go in an emergency, how to stay on top of medications, doctors visits, home health care, insurance and more. Read it now before you're too emotional to think clearly. It's all here for you. Be prepared.
