The Consumer's Guide to Successful Surgery - Dr. Isenberg & Dr. Elting HC Book!

Description: Here's a great Gift Idea! The Consumer's Guide to Successful Surgery The Book You Must Read Before You Enter the Hospital! by Dr. Seymour Isenberg & Dr. L. M. Elting In THE CONSUMER'S GUIDE TO SUCCESSFUL SURGERY, two doctors put the facts on the table about: —how to choose a surgeon —why the modern hospital is no place to be when you're sick, but how to make the best of it once you're there —how to get the service you need when you want it, including the right to look at your chart —diagnostic and supportive procedures, and how to tell if they're performing the right ones on you —anaesthesia in the operating room (and why you should insist on meeting your anaesthetist before your operation) —why you may lose more blood before your operation than during it —what goes on while you're out (including clear descriptions of most non-emergency surgical procedures, and the options each patient should have as to which technique is used) —fascinating (and potentially lifesaving information) about exploratory surgery; removal of cysts, tumors, stones, inflamed or diseased organs; hysterectomy, vasectomy, childbirth, plastic surgery, intestinal bypass, and much, much more. —equally valuable information about postoperative care, paying your bills, getting your insurance, checking your records—everything you need to know to make sure your body gets the same kind of consumer protection as your car! From the Publisher: Here, for the first time, is a book that will protect you when you are at your most vulnerable. Two doctors who have practiced surgery for many years tell you that your body is your own, not the plaything of doctors, nurses and orderlies. In clear, everyday language, Doctors Isenberg and Elting explain the do's and don't of choosing a surgeon and picking a hospital—what to look for and how to make sure you get it. They tell you how to make sure that you get the best possible nursing and preoperative care, and how to avoid common abuses of patients. They describe the tests and procedures for the most common non-emergency operations (including salvage, repair or removal of various growths or diseased body parts; obstetrics; sterilization and other sex-related surgical procedures; plastic surgery, and many others) so you'll know what to ask before the lights go out. The authors are critics of the abuses of their profession —they know where the skeletons are hidden—and they provide you with the best weapon a patient can have: information on diagnostic examinations, anesthesia, operating instruments, pre-op, post-op and the choices of operations available for different problems. Your body belongs to you, and this book will help you keep it that way. ==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+== CATEGORY: Non-Fiction GENRE: Medicine PUBLISHING INFO: New York: St. Martin's Press, 1976, UPC# (none), ISBN 312-16625-7, 330pp + index, hardcover, approx 5.5" X 8.5" Cover Price $10.00 CONDITION: Used, good condition, good binding. --> -----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+----- This would make a great gift!
