'YOU: The Smart Patient' by Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz From The Publisher:
Everyone needs to become a smart patient. In fact, in the worst cases, your life may even depend on it. Bestselling authors and doctors, Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz, have written this handbook to help everyone to get the best health care possible—by making everyone into their own medical detective.

Witty, playful, at times offbeat, but always authoritative, YOU: The Smart Patient shows you how to become your own medical sleuth, tracing your medical family tree and wending your way through the pitfalls of any health care situation. Written in conjunction with the health care community's leading oversight group, The Joint Commission, the book shows readers in clear, easy steps how to take control of their own health care and deal with all matters that may come up when facing a medical case: from choosing the right doctor, hospital and insurance company to navigating prescription drugs, specialists, treatment options, alternative medicine, pain management or any problem that might arise.
