Product Description

America's most widely syndicated medical columnist, Peter H. Gott, M.D.'s new guide to healthier living, Live Longer, Live Better, will be published in September 2004 by Quill Driver Books.

Dr. Peter Gott combines the empathy of an old-fashioned family doctor with the outspoken fervor of a patients' rights advocate in his nationally syndicated column, "Dr. Gott." A general internist in practice in Connecticut since 1966, Dr. Gott responds to readers' medical questions with sensitivity and accuracy. His daily column has been syndicated by Newspaper Enterprise Association since 1984. Dr. Gott devotes six days each week to answering readers' medical questions, and one day each week to his own health-related commentary.

Dr. Gott is praised not only for his knowledge of medicine, but also for his support of patients' rights, having once advised readers, "If your doctor keeps you waiting more than 45 minutes without a good reason, send him a bill for your time." More than 10,000 readers write to Dr. Gott each month, and many are in the medical profession.

With the incredible following Dr. Gott has garnered over the decades his column has run,Live Longer, Live Better promises to be a huge national success!

5.0 out of 5 stars A straightforward primer for all-around better health, May 11, 2005
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
In Live Longer, Live Better: Taking Care Of Your Health After 50, popular medical columnist and physician Peter H. Gott, offers the non-specialist general reader a straightforward primer for all-around better health. Chapters address a wide range of common health concerns such as hypertension, anxiety and depression, sex, diabetes, stroke, cholesterol, osteoporosis, memory loss, senility and dementia, and much more. Presented in a simple question-and-answer format, Live Longer, Live Better is recommended reading; the health advice is quite pertinent to all ages, and in today's era of skyrocketing health care insurance prices, an ounce of prevention is worth much more than a pound of cure.

5.0 out of 5 stars practical reading, August 2, 2005
I read Dr Gott's newspaper column all the time. The book is written in a similar manner. The advice is told in laymans terms and as a result is practical and easy to understand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great information!, May 15, 2007
By J. R. Bray (Salem, OR USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My grandmother is 89 years old, healthy as a horse and twice as independent, and swears by any info given out by Dr. Gott. This book presents his advice in the same format as his column; letters from people with Dr. Gott's advice. Great presentation and great info. And if it's good enough for Grandma, its bound to help the rest of us youngsters.
