Book Description

February 19, 2000
Does your "bullet-proof man" avoid thinking about his health? If he isn't taking care of himself before long he'll be going to the doctor, whether he likes it or not And you'll suffer, too -- from the worrying, from exhaustion as you become his caregiver, and from high medical bills Dr Ken Goldberg shows you how to take care of the man you love by:
-- Understanding why he's in denial about his health
-- Preparing him for a check-up so that it will be a positive experience
-- Learning self-tests and partner exams
-- Watching for symptoms his doctor should check out
-- Helping him eat better, exercise, and stop smoking
-- Taking action when he has more than the blues -- or more than a temper
-- Moving beyond male myths about sex
-- Helping him master the changes of middle life

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Goldberg, a urologist and founder of the Male Health Institute in Dallas, believes that women in general are better informed about health than men. When it comes to health matters, many men live in denial, ignore pain, take risks, suppress emotion, and act aggressively. Therefore, this men's health guide is addressed primarily to women. It provides the practical advice and medical information about men's health issues that women need to keep the men in their lives well and to encourage healthy lifestyles. Along with the The People's Medical Society Men's Health and Wellness Encyclopedia (LJ 5/1/98), this is a good, up-to-date selection for men's health collections.?James Swanton, Harlem Hosp.
