Extraordinarily Honest, October 31, 2004
This review is from: What Your Doctor Won't (or Can't) Tell You: The Failures of American Medicine -- and How to Avoid Becoming a Statistic (Paperback)
When Dr Levine describes his book as "honest," it is redundant. His honesty, knowledge and his concern for the well-being of patients virtuallly leaps from the page.
He packs and enomous amount of little known information and a wealth of practical, life-saving suggestions about surviving a hospital stay, and even about relating to an ordinary visit to a doctor, into a few hundred pages.
It's a "must read" for anyone feeling a little under the weather, and for every one else before they feel less than well, as well.
There ought to be a prize, or a medal, for the sort of courage that Dr. Levine's revelations exemplify. And a heartfelt thanks for his clarity in expressing it.

For the cost of my co-pay I saved thousands!, October 12, 2005
This review is from: What Your Doctor Won't (or Can't) Tell You: The Failures of American Medicine -- and How to Avoid Becoming a Statistic (Paperback)
Now I know why my doctor placed me on a medication that costs about $1,500 dollars a year when I could have taken a better one that costs about $20 dollars a year. After reading Dr. Levine's book I went to another doctor and asked if it would be reasonable to switch. My blood pressure is still controlled and I am savings thousands of dollars. Shame on the medical industry for doing this to us!

a must read before entering your doctor's office, August 30, 2005
This review is from: What Your Doctor Won't (or Can't) Tell You: The Failures of American Medicine -- and How to Avoid Becoming a Statistic (Paperback)
Before entering a doctor's office, a hospital, or taking any prescribed drug, you must read this book. Dr. Levine tells all about the horrors of the healthcare industry and how to avoid becoming a victim.
