What Your Doctor Won't or Can't Tell You: Doctors, Hospitals, Drugs, Insurance--What You Need to Know to Take ...

Shocking and revealing!
I was shocked to learn that drug companies and medical suppliers "court" and "pay" (my quotes) doctors to use their products. The author explains the process behind the FDA approving a drug and that some doctors have a conflict of interest while taking part in the approval process.

A PI Mystery for Working PI's
This book is a must read for anyone who wants to know what the life of a real Private Investigator is like. This book could not have been written by anyone who is not a working PI. "The Losers' Club" is certainly the best PI mystery that I have read in a long, long time. Cal Brantley doesn't carry a gun but a cellular phone, a camera and a knowledge of people are all the weapons she needs. I ...

An absolute lifesaver
I consider myself kind of a smart guy, but the Kaplan materials made my brain hurt. I was really suffering through my studying. Then along comes this book with tidbits such as this: "a variable annuity is really just a mutual fund investment that grows tax deferred." Oh yeah. Now that makes sense. Why couldn't the competitor products state this so clearly? I read page after page of competitor ...

Shattering in its simplicity
I picked this up on the recommendation of an author I respect, and while I was expecting a good read, I wasn't expecting to be so utterly shattered. On its surface, it's just a straightforward mystery about a guy who may or may not be dead, and the insurance investigator who needs to find out for certain. But just like the brittle prose, there's much, much more to it than that. While I can ...

Where was she when I needed her?
Having seen four of my family members, including both sets of parents and in-law parents who have needed special care and attention during periods of aging, disability and dying, I had to learn by trial and error. Unfortunately, many times it was by error. Valerie has clearly and concisely covered a very difficult subject in a very easy to read, relatively short book. She is to be commended ...

The Information Social Security REALLY NEEDS
After personally speaking to Mr. Smith, I was convinced of his sincerity and committment to helping those applying for SSDI. I purchased this book, used the forms, and I got it on my first try. His forms that I filled out(daily activities) and attached to all of my Doctor's forms were extraordinarily helpful and I believe essential in the decision making process for Social Security. It also ...
Dead Again (Beauford Sloan Mystery)

Beauford Sloan is on the case again in Merry Olde England
I was going to say that the second Beauford Sloan mystery was too early to send our hero off to England to do the stranger in a strange land bit, but since author Raymond Austin is from that side of the Pond there is a sense in which he is on familiar turf. As was the case in "The Eagle Heist" the running conceit is that Sloan looks a lot like Wilford Brimley, although it is really the other way ...

Could Be Invaluable If You Commit the Time and Energy
There are hundreds (thousands?) of books now in print which offer information and counsel concerning the sales process. In essence, that process involves cultivation and then solicitation but first an important decision must be made: Whom to cultivate? (In retail sales, obviously, anyone who walks in the door is a prospect.) When conducting workshops for salespersons, I strongly recommend that ...

Refreshing
This well written, engaging book sheds refreshing light on one of the pivitol issues confronting society. The author has spent his career in the "trenches" not in "think tanks", and his fist-hand experience, authenicity, and empathy are expressed with down-to-earth elegance.

Medical Cost Saver and Healthcare Navigator in One
Healthcare for Less is an excellent resource for helping people to navigate and save money in our healthcare system. My first try at using the information I read in Michelle's book was a huge success. It saved me over $600 dollars for a diagnostic MRI. If I had not read the book I would never have known about the national 211 organization. The organization Michelle writes about is a national ...

Everyone Should Have This Book
Be Prepared is an incredible compilation of useful and practical information for anyone dealing with serious illness. When my mother was diagnosed with Liver Disease, I had no idea where to turn to get answers to a number of our questions regarding insurance and financial matters - our family attorney didn't even have all the information compiled here. I am grateful that a friend gave me a ...

A Daughter's Death, a Mother's Grief
This is a very disturbing indictment of modern health care. Dorothy Cancilla exhibits an extraordinary amount of restraint in recalling the preventable death of her daughter at the hands of inept doctors and an unforgiving system. It's ironic that a organization whose charter is to maintain people's health can actually compromise their lives when the bottom line might be in jeopardy. Kudos to ...

If only, we think -- we could do something different--then we would really feel good about ourselves and proud about the places we work. This book inspires you to lead that change, to act on your vision. In these times when the ...

Book is good; Price is not
I was recommended this text book by the study material I was using to prepare the acturial exam FM. Then I came to check this book here and I found out that the price here is way too much higher. With this price, you can buy both the text book and its solution mannual in Actex Mad River with free UPS shipping. Hope this will help.

Pauline Does It Again!
Another great Pauline Sokol mystery! I love this character and have enjoyed watching her grow as the series takes off. This was great with the Newport backdrop and slightly more information about the ever mysterious Jagger. I hope that we will be hearing a lot more about Pauline, Goldie, Miles, and wonderful Uncle Walt...
