For over 20 years this massive international bestseller has been widely praised by caring doctors.Bestselling author Dr Vernon Coleman MB ChB DSc FRSA was the first doctor to point out that doctors are now one of the top three causes of death - along with cancer and heart disease and to describe the role of the immune system in the development of cancer. In this book he explains that the person most likely to kill you is not a burglar, a mugger, a deranged relative or a drunken driver. The facts show that the person most likely to kill you is your doctor. This classic book explains how to protect yourself from this serious threat to your life. There are sections on tests and investigations, drugs, repeat prescriptions, mental health care, alternative medicine, cancer, healthy eating, self-healing, breast cancer scandals, the danger of too many X rays, benzodiazepine tranquillisers, blood cholesterol (and drugs used for lowering it) and the danger of side effects. There are chapters on: How to survive in hospital; Questions to ask before taking a prescribed drug; How to get the best out of your doctor; Ten good reasons why you shouldn't trust your doctor and How to read your prescription. There is advice on second opinions and how to make sure your doctor doesn't bully you.
