How Not To Be My Patient Book Cover

 

New Video Footage!

In this NEW BOOK, the facts are clear. If you want to be healthy for life, you had better:

  • Learn to talk so your doctor will listen
  • Understand your diagnosis – and realize that you can survive bad news
  • Remember the 8 simple commandments for living well – so you’ll live long enough to cash in your 401(k)
  • Separate hype from hope, especially about medical headlines and questionable Internet information
  • Combine the best of traditional and alternative treatments
  • Make simple lifestyle changes to improve your health

As a cancer specialist, Dr. Edward Creagan has been treating very sick patients for almost 30 years. And he knows that, if they had made the right decisions earlier in their lives, and especially after they were diagnosed with an illness, they wouldn’t be his patients now. This is not just about lifestyle choices or alternative health care options, although these are important aspects of Dr. Creagan’s healthy living plan. It is about using your 7 minutes in the examination room (the length of the average visit), forging the right kind of relationship with your doctor, and understanding and using the health care system -- instead of having the health care system use (and often abuse) you.

Disease is not inevitable. A diagnosis is not a death sentence.

If you learn to use your relationship with your doctor to your advantage and focus on your personal lifestyle decisions, you’ll save time, money and your health. Use this book, use the medical system, and start planning now . . .
so you’ll never be Dr. Creagan’s patient.
