Your Medical Mind
Making the right medical choice is harder than ever. Whether you’re considering taking a medication or deciding whether or not to undergo a medical procedure, you’re overwhelmed by information from all sides: doctors’ recommendations, confusing statistics, conflicting media reports, the advice of friends, claims on the Internet and a never-ending stream of drug company ads.
Your Medical Mind helps you chart a path through this sea of confusion. Written by bestselling author Dr. Jerome Groopman and noted endocrinologist Dr. Pamela Hartzband, it helps us make sense of all the statistics and conflicting advice, assess your own biases and arrive at decisions that serve you best. It’s a powerful resource.

Excellent Source of Medical Advice 
March 28, 2012
Anyone who needs to have any type of medical care should first read this book, written by physicians who care. One needs to think about modern medical care procedures, and doctors' opinions, before deciding whether the advice given is the best for you. Our medical system desperately needs to be more patient oriented, and completely redesigned.
