Hindered by fear or shyness, and feeling that we don't want to "bother" our busy doctors, many of us are unable to communicate fully with our physicians. As a result, many critical questions go unasked and unanswered, and women pay the price, in health and anxiety.In What Women Need to Know, Marianne Legato, M.D., one of America's top women's doctors, closes this communication gap by answering scores of actual questions asked by hundreds of real women across the country. These questions span a broad range of health and medical issues that concern women of all ages.Written in a warm, conversational style, What Women Need to Know enables a woman to address her health concerns in the comfort and privacy of her own home, as if her personal physician were a close personal friend who had stepped into her living room and invited her to ask all her health questions.What Women Need to Know is packed with essential, lifesaving information. In addition, Dr. Legato actually helps readers learn how to talk with their doctors in a confident and intelligent manner that will get them the level of respect, service, and care they need and deserve.
