Take Care of Yourself: A Consumer's Guide to Medical Care, by D. M. Vickery and J.F. Fries (Addison-Wesley Publishing Co, 1976)

R. J. H.

"You can do more for your health than your doctor can." With this dramatic sentence the authors set the stage for a self-help book that should prove useful to families and their physicians. Many of us complain that patients contribute to their ill health by unhealthy habits and then use doctors inappropriately. This book seeks to correct both problems. Section I shows patients how to lead healthier lives, how to choose a physician, and how to use medical care most effectively.
