In twenty years as a leading specialist in gynecology and obstetrics, Dr. Yvonne Thornton has repeatedly discovered that her patients simply did not know the basic facts about women's health, and that often they had no plain-spoken source of information to turn to. Now, in Woman to Woman, using familiar terms, anecdotes and analogies, Dr. Thornton empowers women to become active in the pursuit and maintenance of their personal health. In a straightforward style honed in years as a public speaker and spokesperson on women's health issues, she addresses:
Pregnancy
Childbirth
Breast and pelvic examinations
Breast and other cancers
How to evaluate a doctor's qualifications
HMOs and other insurance companies.
Woman to Woman represents an important, engaging and up-to-date resource for any woman who wants a greater understanding of her body and how it works.
