a must-ownSep 15, 2004
By J. Young
This is a very inexpensive but handy guide that everybody should own. It is full of advice on ailments ranging from the common cold to things you might otherwise be embarrassed to ask a pharmacist or doctor about (not that I speak from experience regarding the latter). My sister-in-law gave me this book a few years back as a gift, and over the years I have opened it many times as a quick reference. It has probably saved me a couple of doctor visits, and if this book does that just once, then it has covered the cost of purchase. Best of all, the information is all clearly and consistently presented and spelled out in simple language. You neither have to attempt to read a doctor's illegible scribblings, nor have to filter through any complicated medical jargon.
Granted, the availability of free medical information online has reduced the need for this kind of material, but in purchasing this book, the information is always right at your fingertips and easily indexed so that you won't have to go through the process of accessing a search engine and figuring out what is necessary and unnecessary. Sometimes, the internet gives you more than you need. This book gives you only what you need to know.
