Fears and Cheers

If you've been putting off that visit to the doctor's office, pull up a comfortable chair and settle in with Fears and Cheers by Myriam Selinger Sanders. Dr. Selinger Sanders speaks to her readers as she spoke to her patients-with humor, compassion, firmness, and down-to-earth common sense. These pages address some of the most common medical issues women encounter: the first gynecological exam, methods of birth control, difficulties conceiving and carrying a baby to term, the birth process, menopause, hormone replacement therapy, and more. Through stories about her experiences-some heartwarming, some hysterical- Dr. Selinger Sanders soothes women's fears about those annual checkups, helping us understand the benefits of building a strong, trusting relationship with our doctors.
