Customer Reviews:

Review of Law in Medicine.......2000-01-05

Pozgar's book is organized by legal topic and cites relevant case law in all instances. It is an excellent overview of American law as it applies to the health care practitioner or organization. He has taken a topic that it difficult to communicate and made it very enjoyable reading. Students will find it much easier reading than most graduate level texts.

Great information for those new to health care law........1999-06-29

This book was very useful to me. I am a health information management student planning to enter a graduate health administration program. I took the class and this particular book was the text. Our instructor is a lawyer and runs risk management at our university hospital. The text further explained basic legal priciples and related them to health care. The text is easy to read and gives several references to actual documents.

Helpful - but out of date.......2006-03-22

I had this text book overnighted to me due to the fact that my campus bookstore didn't have it in stock. I paid the shipping then found out later that the book had been updated and my classmates were all using the fourth edition. The editions are rather similar and the book is still helpful. There are enough "real time" examples as well as charts & graphs to make this a necessary text for Health Politics. The appendix section is also noteworthy.

Book Description

Breastfeeding is natural, but it's not always easy. It is the biological norm, but it is not the cultural norm. By learning the seven basic principles in this book, mothers can dramatically increase their likelihood of success and make breastfeeding the enjoyable experience it should be. The seven laws taught in this book are easy for mothers to understand and are sure to help them avoid some of the pitfalls that they might otherwise face.

The seven principles include: 1. Babies Have the Urge to Self-Attach 2. Use the Power of Skin-to-Skin: A Baby's Natural Habitat 3. Breastfeed Ad Lib 4. Reach for the Comfort Zone 5. Expect Cluster Nursing 6. More Milk Out = More Milk Made 7. Babies Outgrow Breastfeeding

The book also addresses how to solve common problems and deal with special situations such as breast reductions and babies with special needs. The authors describe some of the social, psychological, and cultural reasons why breastfeeding is not currently the norm, and what this implies for mothers. In all, this is an easy-to-use breastfeeding resource for new mothers, which includes all the latest research and techniques used by those in the lactation field.

Customer Reviews:

Best breastfeeding book.......2007-06-15

I love this book, very positive tone. Lets moms know how to get off to the right start with breastfeeding. I highly recommend that moms read this before the baby arrives.

Best breastfeeding book.......2007-05-11

I read this book while pregnant and then again when my baby arrived. This book addressed all my concerns. This book also agreed with what the lactation consultants I saw recommended and also on the same page as La Leche League. My baby is now 2 mos and breastfeeding has been successful so far. I firmly believe that if you are planning to breastfeed your child you must do your research because you will have many people... nurses, pediatricians, friends, family telling you all different things. Read this book. Don't assume that breastfeeding will come naturally.

Breastfeeding Made Simple: Seven Natural Laws for Nursing Mothers.......2007-03-09

This is an EXCELLANT book! I recommend it highly. I have been teaching childbirth education for a long time, and even I learned a few new things in this book. Women should read this before having their baby, so they really get the concepts before problems occur, such as positioning, latching on, and what to look for as far as eliminations from babies, but is not limited to pregnancy. Definitely can read this after you have your baby as well. I was also privledged to meet the author of this book.

MUST Read for Breastfeeding Mom's!.......2007-02-04

I got off to a very rough start with breastfeeding my son. Fortunately, I had this book when we got home from the hospital. I referred to it MANY times in those first critical days home when I was second guessing myself and when I was ready to give up. It was so reassuring and gave me the information I needed to KEEP going. I'm happy to report that my baby is now a month old, gaining like a champ and so far is exclusively breast fed. Excellent resource! Does not have the preachy tone found in other breastfeeding books.

Wow! Who Knew?.......2007-01-10

I am a first time expecting mom - & I will be the first to admit that I am 100% clueless! This book is amazing! It describes everything in such detail & explains everything to expect. I love it & would recommend it to anyone who will be attempting to breastfeed!

Customer Reviews:

A Better Book By Far.......2004-11-02

This is a better book by far than the unfortunately better known INTERNAL BLEEDING. It is certainly more honest. It has the clear advantage of being written by people who know and understand the subject ,and unlike Internal Bleeding, it does not suffer the disadvantage of having been written by physicians who, purposfully or otherwise, seem very intent in obscuring the responsibility for medical mistakes.

The authors of Wall of Silence have written an honest and valuable book deciding (to the public's advantage) to let the chips fall where they may. A MUST READ!!

Truth be told.......2004-03-07

This book is a well researched, well written must read for all Americans. The authors share their personal story as well as the stories of others who have suffered at the hands of a careless physician. While the stories will break your heart, they may also save your life, or the life of someone you love. While none of us want to believe that those we trust with our bodies and our lives would neglect a sacred trust, the fact is it is happening all too often. This book delivers the message without hype, fear or hysteria. Read it, share it and take it with you.

First do no harm.......2003-11-18

If even one person dies, that is one too many. But it is not just one, not even 10 or 100 patients who are maimed and dying from health care mistakes. As Gibson and Singh reveal, the numbers are much much higher than that. And anyone of them could be you or your loved ones. Medical errors do not discriminate. Everyone is vulnerable even doctors themselves as patients.

Yes, to error is human but that really doesn't appear to be the problem here. A great deal of the problem appears to be that a percentage of health care providers make multiple errors because no one stops them. According to Grayson and Singh many nurses do not recommend their place of employment to their family and friends.

When people are not held accountable for their actions and the consequences of those actions everyone is endangered. Taking or being forced to take personal responsiblity for your actions and their consequences plays a large part in how many mistakes you make.

I would think it would be every irresponsible health care provider's nightmare to literally have to personally experience everything that they inflict on their patients.

Since health care providers are safe from the magic wishing wand, the next best thing is to guard against such mistakes and be public with the information. It is a matter of ethics. When you are ten and don't want to "rat out" a buddy it is rarely life or death. But health care providers are not ten anymore and it is their ethical obligation to put the safety their patients or potential patients first. Please read this book and tell others about it. All of our lives depend on it.

Dying for Safety and Accountability.......2003-09-15

What separates Wall of Silence by Gibson and Singh from other books on this topic is the refreshing and bold truth telling contained within it's human stories of pain, injustice and frustration. Not only did the authors shoulder the risks and courage requisite for listening to and then writing about the human face, consequences and devastation of needless medical error tragedies, but they also ferreted out and exposed the ugly truths, told by medical providers themselves, about how the pervasive greed, secrecy and code of silence in the healthcare industry works to bury medical mistakes through a host of means; including blackballing and burying the careers of the competent and ethical medical providers who dare to tell the truth and who place patients above profits. As a medical provider, I can find no better way to encapsulate the meaning and hope of this treatise than through those words offered by the Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter. This book is, as she states, 'A call to arms for families who have had loved ones disabled or die in the pursuit of medical treatment.' And, I can only hope that it could also catalyze a 'Call to Arms' for medical providers who wish to return medicine and healthcare to the patient oriented, compassionate, ethical and hippocratic way of practice.

Buy this book.......2003-08-05

If you want to know the truth about the medical system and the enormous number of errors and cover-ups within that system, read this book. Well-researched with many shocking and heart-breaking case studies, the book provides answers as well as showing the problems. Thank goodness someone had the courage to buck the system and break down the Wall of Silence for all of us.

Customer Reviews:

Obviously not the first shot at the material........2006-10-10

The author created an invaluable tool to help begineers understand the rather complicated topic of managed care using a straightforward linear approach to the topic. All topics are covered early with references to indepth coverage found later in the volume.

Getting the book is just a tool though, you really gotta want to learn the material because as practiced as the author is at putting the pen to paper, it's a very difficult topic and therefore, read.

Management of Managed Care.......2006-03-18

The book was easy to understand and was written from the perspective of someone who is unfamiliar with the managed care topic. I recommend it highly

Thoughtfully done by Dr. Peter R. Kongstvedt and contributors.

The first time I took the CCM exam I failed by a couple of points. I bought this study guide because it covered a lot of the questions on the exam. The guide included a lot of hospital case manager issues that I was not familiar with as well as payor sources. I am convinced this study guide helped me to pass the exam the 2nd time around.

Problems in Health Care Law, Ninth Edition has been extensively updated and restructured to utilize the "problems" approach. The text highlights general principles and emphasizes areas that remain most problematic. This classic book deliberately seeks to state expressly the general principles - both of the underlying conflicting public policies and the legal solutions to those problems. This edition has been restructured into a format that emphasizes the problems of health care law by heading sections with a question. Problems in Health Care Law, Ninth Edition continues to provide the helpful one-volume overview of health care law that it and its predecessor Problems in Hospital Law have provided since 1968.
