Book Reviews of Healthcare Online for Dummies
Book Review: A roadmap for the on-line healthcare superhighway!
Summary: 5 Stars
As the Web gets bigger (and often crazier,) there's a greater and greater need to be able to separate the "signal" from the "noise," the truth from the false. This is especially difficult when you get into the area of health care -- which is, often, an art form, not a hard and fast science. The Wolinskys make incredible sense. "Whether in an emergency or a non-emergency situation, nothing, not even Internet technology can replace that old-fashioned, hands-on, in-person doctor-patient relationship. Nothing." This is just one sentence from one chapter, yet it represents the attitude of the Wolinskys -- whether they are explaining how to find a doctor or a hospital, buying medicines or trying alternative medicines, infants, kids, teens, women's, senior's health care --no matter. This book provides the healthcare sense and sensibilities so desperately needed today.
