When hurt, maybe dying, who doesn’t tend to kowtow to someone who offers to make everything OK again? The illness of modern medicine is that it abuses this time of natural deference. It has forgotten that the patient is part of the cure. Take This Book stridently urges all bodies to restore their roles in the healing wards. Take this book to the hospital with you and you’ll make yourself a better patient, your doctor a better doctor, and your hospital a better place to get well.
