Features: This is a highly unique health guide. First, it is not aimed at a specific gender, health issue, or age group. Many such books exist, and many are also very useful, but this one is comprehensive—it suits every family member. It is a reference book that you will consult almost every day, as it helps you address the health and medical issues you and your family encounter daily. This book is not just about diseases; it is a complete family healthcare strategy. It tells you what medications should be stored in your household medicine cabinet, how to check your medical records, and how to choose healthcare service providers. And that’s not all. This book is not just about diseases; it is a complete family healthcare strategy. We tell you what medications should be stored in your household medicine cabinet, how to check your medical records, and how to choose healthcare service providers. And that’s not all. Are you confused by health insurance and all those related acronyms, such as HMO, POS, PPO, and so on? This book will answer those questions too.
What makes The Family Doctor unique is its source of information. This book does not promote opinions or the healthcare perspective of a single doctor or hospital. The information in this book comes from reliable direct sources. We do not just make a phone call to confirm our views with a doctor—please believe us, this is not an uncommon practice! We never do that. Our approach is to thoroughly search medical journals worldwide, visit top medical schools, consult renowned scholars, and even have others reconfirm the advice we propose. In other words, what you read in the book has been repeatedly verified.
Remember, a book about healthcare cannot cover everything. For example, it cannot provide an accurate diagnosis based on a single book, nor can it precisely specify medication dosages. You should combine the use of this book with consulting a doctor. Do not foolishly assume you can handle everything on your own.
