Improving Medication Adherence: How to Talk with Patients About Their Medications
C. Everett Koop, MD, ScD -- "This little book, in my opinion, is destined to fill a giant void in the training of all medical and nursing students, as well as becoming a classic read for experienced clinicians in search of the art of medicine. My advice is simple-read it."-C. Everett Koop, MD, ScD, Former Surgeon General of the United States (1981-1989), Senior Scholar, C. Everett Koop Institute at Dartmouth  John F. Steiner, MD, MPH -- "A valuable book for even the most experienced clinician from primary care to endocrinology. Dr. Shea brings rich insights to a topic (what words we choose as we introduce medications and address their side-effects), that is seldom discussed in training. He reminds us that our words are as important a part of the pharmacopoeia as the medications themselves."-John F. Steiner, MD, MPH, Director of the Colorado Health Outcomes Program, Professor of Medicine, Preventive Medicine and Biometrics, University of Colorado  Psychiatric Times, 01-JUL-07 -- "This wonderfully practical book takes us back to the core of our profession-helping us make contact with those we treat so that the medications we prescribe, and the good outcomes they can enable, are used to their utmost advantages."-Psychiatric Times
