Behind The Examining Room Door: A Consumer Guide For Navigating Healthcare
by Dan Mariani
Are you getting the best drug for your medical condition? Are doctors infallible and totally unbiased when making important decisions for you, as a patient? Do drug representatives have an impact on healthcare providers' decision making?
You've probably often wondered what happens behind closed doors in doctors' offices, how you're really perceived by the healthcare community, and how drug selection actually works.
Retired pharmaceutical market account manager Dan Mariani provides a fascinating view of how the healthcare system works. Described within are surprising behind-the-scenes machinations with detailed insights into how you, as a consumer, can make better choices to bolster your health.
This honest, inside look at the pharmaceutical-doctor-academia medical triad at work reveals just how it affects the delivery of consumer care.
How can we identify our best options when shopping for medical care? Can you really trust hospitals to provide optimal care? Are doctors totally treating cases without their self-interests in mind?
Janas Review: "A clear voice that has seen the healthcare industry evolve over the years and it's a lens through which I was able to gain more clarity about the aspects of healthcare in the US that weren't clear to me before. Highly recommended read."

Big Guns: A Novel
by Steve Israel
Asabogue's Mayor Lois Leibowitz passes an ordinance to ban guns in the town—right in Otis Cogsworth's backyard. Otis retaliates by orchestrating a recall election against Lois and Jack Steele, a rich town resident, runs against her. Even though the election is for the mayor of a small village on Long Island, Steele brings in the big guns of American politics to defeat Lois. Soon, thousands of pro-gun and anti-gun partisans descend on Asabogue, and the bucolic town becomes a tinderbox. Meanwhile, Washington politicians in both parties are caught between a mighty gun lobby and the absurdity of requiring that every American, with waivers for children under age four, carry a gun. What ensues is a discomfiting, hilarious indictment of the state of American politics.
"New York congressman-turned-novelist Steve Israel delivers a second brilliant political satire" (Booklist, starred review). "An entertaining satire" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review), Big Guns is "a wonderfully irreverent satire about the fractured and fractious American political and lobbying system… a rollicking comedic trip" (Publishers Weekly).
