When David Newman learned that he had a life-threatening brain tumor, he also found out how difficult it can be to get sound medical advice on treatment. From conflicting medical opinions to dealing with doctors who wouldn't listen to his needs, Newman waded through the confusion by developing a list of expectations he had for those who treated him.
Newman describes his experience and provides helpful tips for anyone trying to get respectful, effective treatment in his book Talking With Doctors.
