Summary: Take Notice, America
Review: Dr. Creagan provides medicine to treat the ills of the healthcare system...with sweet spoonfuls of humor and humility. He offers a compelling case for health promotion and patient empowerment. Grooming patients to become more informed consumers of healthcare is the key solution to our crisis of soaring healthcare costs and the erosion of the relationship between doctor and patient. Dr. Creagan's uses "insider information" and does the job well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Live longer and happier
Review: From a letter to one of the authors: How Not to Be My Patient is definitely a 5-star book. I have given it to my three sons and to my grown grandchildren. If they would follow the solid health tips in this book, they will live longer, happier lives. Dr. Creagan has made a serious subject an enjoyable read.

Rating: 5 stars

As a health professional, I found the information useful to me personally, and I have recommended it to my colleagues and family.

Summary: This doctor is buying copies of the book for his friends
Review: I'm an author, educator and media personality, I was blown away by Dr. Creagan and Wendel's new book, How Not to Be My Patient. As the veterinarian for ABC TV's Good Morning America, Knight Ridder Newspapers pet columnist, nationally syndicated talk radio host, and author of several books including The Healing Power of Pets, I'm always looking for an edge when it comes to my health, and the health of those I love.

Most books about healthy living or beating back physical adversity are either too anecdotal for my liking, or written in such a way as to be boring or too hard to follow. Not this book! From the very first pages, I found How Not to Be My Patient research-based but easy to understand, comprehensive without being overwhelming, fun to read rather than drudgery. Plus the book is packed full of quick facts, reference lists, and vividly written stories that make the tactics for healthy living come alive!

This year, I'm giving everyone on my Christmas list this book. How Not to Be My Patient promises to help each of them live a happier, healthier, fuller life.

Two paws way up, two thumbs way up for this book!
