This review is from: Take Care Of Yourself 8E: The Complete Illustrated Guide To Medical Self-care (Paperback)
This book is one of the best guides to better health. It is easy to both find what ails you and what heals you. It is written in laymans terms that are easy to understand. I strongly recommend it be a part of your home health library.

This review is from: Take Care Of Yourself 8E: The Complete Illustrated Guide To Medical Self-care (Paperback)
My employer gave me an earlier edition of this book as part of a wellness plan. I literally wore it out! It's weird to try to call a doctor's office if you're not sure you need a doctor, and this book helps you figure out if you need to go in or not. Highly reccomended

Take Care of Yourself,
By Beanie (Charleston SC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Take Care Of Yourself 8E: The Complete Illustrated Guide To Medical Self-care (Paperback)
An excellent book to use for medical self-care. In flow-chart style, it guides you through questions/answers and a possible diagnosis, then advises whether your condition is mild, moderate, or serious enough to warrant emergency medical care. I also like "Take Care of Your Child," and used it a lot when my children were small.
