The Patient From Hell: How I Worked with My Doctors to Get the Best of Modern Medicine and How You Can Too

This book will help you choose for yourself how to weigh different kinds of risks and make smart trade-offs rather than have others choose for you, often without your even knowing what's at stake. If you want to learn how to take intelligent risks, how to determine whether the cure is worse than the disease or vice versa, this detailed account of my four years of experience with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma may help you. If you want to surmount the bureaucratic obstacles and financial impediments that often stand in the way of obtaining the best treatments, please read carefully - and if you agree with me, you too can take action to help change the status quo. --- excerpt from book's Preface
