Book Title: 

Medical Tips from the Inside: Things You Need to Know

Book Author(s):: 

Corine Mogenis and Patricia Raya

My Review 

This book is very informative on dealing with major and minor medical situations. Asking the doctor questions is the key. Not many people know or think to do that. This book helps people who are unsure deal with that.

What was the most important information you learned? 

Your right to ask questions and to be knowledgeable with respect to your medical situation.

What questions would you like to ask the author? 

Are you planning on writing a Second Edition?

Who will benefit most from reading this book? 

I think the elderly. They tend to go by what their doctor says and that's it. They (and their caregivers) need to know it's okay to get a second opinion and/or question the doctor on the care provided.
