What You Don't Know Can Kill You is a cautionary tale that may save your life someday, providing that you follow the advice of Dr. Laura Nathanson.

The red flags that she lists may at first glance appear to be mere common sense. All too often, whether it is you or a loved one who is sick, you are too preoccupied to do the obvious, such as verify that the organs listed as tested in your pathology report were the ones that were actually tested. A vital part of coping with illness is having a sentinel (family member or friend) who will watch your back, so to speak.

Everyone should own this book. Buy it and read it - the life you save may be your own.
