The Patient's Vade Mecum

This book is a guide to help patients make the most of their medical treatment. It was written at a time when medicine was much less sophisticated than it is today, but many of the principles it espouses are still relevant. The book provides practical advice for patients on how to best communicate with their doctors, how to follow treatment plans, and how to maintain good health. The authors, Edward Knight and William Knight, were both physicians and their advice is grounded in years of experience.
