"Medical Tips from the Inside, Things you need to know"

I am the kind of person who needs to know what everyone is saying to me and understand completely! So it drives me nuts to go to a Doctors office and not understand a word he is saying!
After reading about this book online, I wanted to share the "good find"!

This book has great advice and wonderful tips!
Here is a little detail about the book

This book aims to prepare and inform you on how to better respond to catastrophic medical situations and urges people to take charge of their medical care and become a vital part of their medical provider team. Medical Tips From The Inside will explain why information about the quality of health care is important, how to gather information about physicians and other medical providers, and how to analyze and prioritize your own health care situation. Education is the key to getting the best and most appropriate healthcare possible and this book will show you in a simple way how to become a better advocate for your healthcare and how to take control of your medical decisions. Armed with this knowledge, you will be better prepared to understand your diagnosis, treatment options, and prognosis.

This isn't an April Fools Joke...
Buy the Book !
This book will hopefully save someone's life. I know that some of the subject matter led me in the right direction for my skin cancer and it was so helpful for finding the right doctor and the right questions to ask for my children.
Good Luck Corie hope to see you on Oprah !

Hey everyone,
Listen up! The information in this book is the real deal. I am a 5 year survivor of cervical cancer and I wish I had this type of "easy to read and understand" book available when I was diagnosed. This book is a winner!! Tell everyone you know about it and increase your knowledge and get educated. Don’t miss out on this opportunity.

Hi there! I think the idea of this book is fantastic!! So many people don't know what questions to ask or yet don't even know where to start. Having a book like this as a reference guide I think is a tool that should be cherished! Good luck Corie & Patti! And remember...Petee is always available to be your mascot!

I am a medical malpractice attorney. I strongly feel that if more patients read this book before they went to the doctor, then I would certainly have less clients. And that would be a good thing!

Kim said...

As the author's said, this book is to help people and that is exactly what it does. You may be the patient or someone you love. This book will help you through rough times. I highly recommend this book and can only hope Oprah picks it for her show...more people need to know. Good luck to Corie and Patti.

This is a great idea for a book. I have passed on information about your book to many of my friends and coworkers, they are very excited to pick up a copy of the book.

Most people feel strange questioning their doctor about anything. This book will help you take the power and put it back into your own hands. I had a very close friend that could have used a book like this.



Good Luck Ladies!

First I would like to say what a great book cover. Very attractive to the eye and outstanding in the isle of the book store. i have not been able to get thru the whole book but what i have read so far is so informative. I was thinking as all you should, what a great gkift for christmas,birthdays of friends and family, Chanuka, friends in hospital or home recouperating, and today, being Passover,what a great gift to bring to the home of your loved ones for holidays. You will show your love and give them better quality of life and choices. what better gift. I have decided this year rather then shop and get things they dont need or go nuts trying to figure out what they do need just give them Medical Tips From The Inside. it for men, women , elerly , young , black white it doesnt matter we all have health issues and choices. So for 2008 give the gift that gives back i know i will. thanks to Corine and Pat for this very important, informative book. Good Luck
Im sure the book will sell itself

I think this book is fantastic!This book helps you know what questions to ask and understand the answers you get.Thanks Corie and Patti for writing this great book.Hope to see you on Oprah!!!

This book is very helpful! If you want to take charge of your health purchase this book. I thought I was somewhat knowledgeable when it came to my health since my mother works in one of the larger hospitals in my area. Well, that was not the case when I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that I never heard of! I was dazed and confused after the diagnosis. However, Cori advised me as to what questions to ask at my many follow appointments as well as informed me about a foundation that could help with additional information and support. If it was not for Cori's help I do not think that I would have been able to cope! Take charge of your health!

Lauren said...

This is an informative book that takes an in-depth look at what it means to be a medical consumer and an active participant in your own health. This book is an excellent resource for anyone and would be recommended to all. Thank you Corie and Patti for imparting your medical knowledge, experiences, and awareness to all readers.

This book is very different and unique to me, because who ever knew half the things this book teaches you about medical tips. I really learned a lot, just through reading this book. Especially for someone like me who really doesnt read books. I am so happy and lucky to have known someone to write this book.

CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN CORIE AND PATTY!!!!!

Hi my name is Natasha Rodgers and I am a CEO/Founder of a nonprofit organization and have partnered many times with Cori Mogenis to help needy families in the community. I am so excited about this book. It is so informative and seeks most of all to educate the community about being an adovacte for their health.

This book does not just speak to one group but All groups. If we are not advocates for our health than who will.

Thank-you Cori and Patti for caring enough about me and my family health, that you put it in writing so that others may benefit.

This is a MUST read!

Corie and Pat, I want to thank you for a really GREAT book! It's well written and organized and the cartoons are worth a 1000 words. You've put a compass in the hands of those (nearly all of us) who will travel this unfamiliar journey. This book is written with such a unjudgmental tone. After reading it I felt refreshed and encouraged, knowing this isn't unchartered territory at all, but just a road with a concise map and signposts and all collected & printed in a book. I realized how much we who work in health care know and take for granted. You didn't take any information for granted, like "choosing your doctor" is explained step by step. You make it very personal and it is.

You may not realize the enormous benefit this book will be over the years for countless people, but I hope you both receive a huge blessing for all your care, hard work, and research on the behalf of others. Good job!!

I once heard it said that anyone can count the seeds in one apple, but only God can count the apples in one seed. You have planted many good seeds and I thank you.

I think the book is terrific and it hits the most important points in dealing with the health care system! Plus, it is easy to read - written double-spaced!
