Synopsis: The medical system in the United States is broken. We pay too muc=
h and still get substandard care. Our failure to deliver high-quality healt= hcare is simple: the system is controlled by money, from the pharmaceutical=
companies, to insurance companies, to regulatory agencies, to politicians = both state and national who are bought off by big businesses.

With the publication of "Autonomy: Taking Control of Your Healthcare In a B= roken System", by Joseph Radich shows that there is a better way. In his me= dical clinics, he has pioneered a new approach to medicine that puts the po= wer back where it belongs, with you, the patient. This new paradigm in medi= cal care costs less while delivering superior results. Members of the gener=
al public can now join with the thousands of patients of Radich in learning=
how you too can reclaim your autonomy and live your best life.

Critique: As informed and informative as it is thoughtful and thought-provo= king, "Autonomy: Taking Control of Your Healthcare In a Broken System" is a=
welcome, timely, and unreservedly recommended addition to personal, profes= sional, community, college, and university library Health/Medicine collecti= ons. It should be noted for medical students, academia, political activists=
, governmental policy makers, and non-specialist general readers with an in= terest in the subject that "Autonomy: Taking Control of Your Healthcare In =
a Broken System" is also available in paperback edition (9798985402575, $17= ..99).

Synopsis: On December 30, 2002, Dr. Mark Roby was diagnosed with one of the=
rarest cancers in the world and told it was unresponsive to all known chem= otherapy. His oncologist suggested he "accept the inevitable" -- but Roby t= hought otherwise.

e created his own, personalized treatment plan targeting his specific tumor=
.. And he survived!

"Lifelines to Cancer Survival: A New Approach to Personalized Care", is Dr.=
Roby's story, but more importantly it is Dr. Roby's compilation of the man=
y resources he painstakingly discovered and wants to share with others who = are fighting similar battles.

With a medical insider's knowledge of what it takes to stay alive when all = the odds are against you, "Lifelines to Cancer Survival: A New Approach to = Personalized Care" is the first book for the non-specialist general reader =
to help guide cancer patients toward advanced modalities and testing, such =
as genetic profiling, personalized vaccines, and more. Dr. Roby wants to le=
ad the charge of patients directing and supervising their own care.

Critique: An absolutely essential book for anyone having to deal with the h= ealth and medical issues of cancer, within themselves, a family member, or =
a friend, "Lifelines to Cancer Survival: A New Approach to Personalized Car=
e" is especially and unreservedly recommended for personal, professional, c= ommunity, and academic library Health/Medicine & Cancer Research collection=
s and supplemental curriculum studies lists. It should be noted that "Lifel= ines to Cancer Survival" is also readily available in a digital book format=
