Book Description
A complete medical examination includes a history, physical examination and basic laboratory analysis. Performed with compassion and care, it provides a diagnosis eighty percent of the time. Busy physicians, who find themselves pressed for the time necessary to complete this important task, compromise this complicated and time-consuming procedure. As a result, initial diagnosis is prone to errors and delays negatively affecting the patient and physician alike. As the new government health care initiatives start, and if the physician shortage does not improve, the author fears that the situation will worsen. Government and the medical and nursing community must find ways to correct this deficiency.

Book Description
The immune system is a complicated mechanism whose principle actors are organs, cells, chemicals and a vast collection of proteins tuned by billions of years of evolution to work in a harmonious manner for the good of the whole. Its purpose is to keep us alive in a world where visible and invisible predators intending to usurp our bodies attack us on a daily basis. By virtue of an amazing communication network, millions of cells gather, exchange information, become activated and respond to bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses preventing them from causing infection. A malfunctioning immune system, when immune cells attack "self," results in numerous auto-immune diseases, the "God only knows" diseases of sixty years ago.

Book Description
A medical error occurs when a healthcare provider chooses an improper method of care, or inappropriately executes a correct method of care. Medical errors result in death and disability. More often than not, the medical error results from a system failure, a lack of coordination amongst those responsible for delivering patient care. The Institute of Medicine estimates between 44,000 to 98,000 deaths per year result from medical errors.
