Dr. Klein's
book hits the nail on the head. The lack of quality care and
the danger in many of our hospitals is a timely issue as our
nation considers health care reform. It's important that everyone
take control of their own health care and protect themselves
against careless practitioners. His examples and advice on
taking more control of one's own health care will go a long
way to creating a better and safer system.

This passionate
and smart book is by someone who both deeply understands how
sick our health care system is and what the best remedies
are to make it well. The state and country need more doctor-advocates
like Richard Klein.

I’ve
just completed reading a draft of your book and it wraps up
all the good things you have done throughout your medical
career. I recall during my days in office as Westchester County
Executive and Lieutenant Governor of the State of New York,
your presence within the community and the respect you garnered
for your social consciousness and active involvement in matters
of real concern in the community. You have always truly cared.
My best wishes for a most successful launch and publication
of your book.

You are truly
a Renaissance man. I have to read a lot of material each day
and have done so throughout my entire career in publishing
and public relations and your book just touches a chord. It’s
an account of a doctor who goes beyond regular care –
a rarity in this age of litigation and HMO’s. I hope
that your book gets published soon so that the reading public
can learn to identify and appreciate those doctors, like you,
in whom they can have confidence. Good Luck.

Today Show I am a longtime patient of Dr. Richard Klein. During
the many years of my high stress job as a corporate counsel
he helped keep me in good health. Now is book is keeping me
in good spirits. I learned. I laughed and I loved it.

From Anecdote
to Anecdote is a great antidote for dispelling the notions
of those who worry about the commitment of the medical profession.
Dr. Richard Klein, in a sometimes humorous and sometimes poignant
manner, demystifies the medical profession while at the same
time instills confidence in the patients of a concerned and
competent doctor that the odds are on their side. I enjoyed
reading this book – it made me feel better.

Dr. Richard
Klein Expresses the rare combination of science and humanity
in his approach to patient care. Much of the wisdom needed
in diagnosis is required by the patient himself, if only we
learn to listen and observe. The ability to truly discern
disease among a set of signs and symptoms is an art, and Dr.
Klein is a master of the craft. His book is must reading for
all who are truly involved in the health and well-being of
patients.

In our rapidly
expanding technological age, old fashioned common sense seems
quaint, even unnecessary. Yet in medicine, the ability to
listen carefully, and with understanding, can often be more
important than the results of a CT scan, or MRI.
Dr. Klein presents us with the wisdom of over 30 years of
the thoughtful and incisive practice of medicine, and we can
all enjoy and benefit from the knowledge he so skillfully
communicates to us. This book is wonderful reading for doctors,
would-be doctors, and their patients everywhere, so open wide
and enjoy!
