His clinical vignettes tell a story and provide examples of how to use the rules he offers. This book should be in every home, in libraries, and in doctors' reception rooms." -- Andre Lijoi, MD, family physician, former Pennsylvania Family Doctor of the Year, and associate director of the York Hospital Family Medicine Residency Program "Let's suppose you are not going to go through all the medical training to become a doctor. Let's suppose you want to help those you love when they share a health condition with you. If this is the case, you would do well to read this book and keep a copy in your home. If your only goal is to improve your health, this book will also be of great help. The information provided is very useful and clearly offered. I found the use of patient stories to be an especially effective way to bring the information to life. The stories were engaging and provided a framework that helped me to apply the medical information that was presented." -- Laurence Bauer, MSW, MEd, chief executive officer of the Family Medicine Education Consortium "The Syrian-born Roman writer Publilius called good health and good sense two of life's greatest blessings. In Staying Alive , Matthew Hahn tells us how to use the latter to achieve the former." --Carol Ann Rinzler, author, Spare Parts: In Praise of Your Appendix and Other Unappreciated Organs, "Anyone interested in how to stay healthy and how to manage when illness or injury strikes must read this book.
