THINKING ABOUT YOUR HEALTH?
Your health is so important. Here at last, the chance to revolutionise your health care that should benefit you for the rest of your life!
And that life could be longer too.
Going to the doctor can be a real pain, we are all a bit frightened of them aren't we. Why is it we never quite seem to get what we really want from our visits to the doctor?
Ok I admit it: You don’t wake up in the middle of night thinking: “I know I must learn how to talk to my doctor better,” but I expect you do sometimes wake up worrying about your health, or wondering how to live longer to enjoy all those dreams you do have.
But I know You have been thinking about your health.
You have haven’t you, of course you have, we all have.
What is your most precious asset?
- Your family?
- Your house
- Your car
- Your pet
- Your bank balance
You know all of those are so important to you,
but loosing your health will negatively impact on all of your assets.
Are you good at looking after your health?
Not as good as you would like I bet? So who should help you best to look after yourself?
Yes that is right, your doctor.
But and it is a big But, you and I know there are problems with doctors.
- Doctors are difficult to understand.
- Doctors are a bit frightening.
- Doctors are very busy.
- Doctors often don’t listen.
So what is the answer?
Well you could carry on clicking on the Internet trying to diagnose yourself, or trying to get those pills that you want or think you need.
But let’s face it: you are going to get it wrong aren’t you?!
Your health is far too important to entrust to amateurs, and as far as your health is concerned you are probably just an amateur too.
If your boiler bursts you call a plumber,
if your TV blows up it’s the TV repairer,
if the gas leaks it is the Gas Board you call,
so if you are unwell you see your doctor.
We know this is where the trouble can start, you get nervous, tongue tied, confused and wish the doctor would explain better.
Do you know what you need?
A no-
This could be your lucky day because we are offering not one but three guides to help you and your loved ones learn all you need to understand about how your doctors think.
And even more than that, all you need to know about how doctors think about communication with you and people in general.
And even more than that, all you need to understand about what doctors mean by the little throwaway remarks that can change our lives so drastically such as:
- “Your cholesterol is a little up”
- “Your smear is not quite normal”
- “Your blood pressure is up a bit .”
- “Your PSA is not normal.”
You have come to the right place,

And here are some reviews from real people taken from Amazon uk:
A "must read" simple as that!, 2 Dec 2006
Reviewer:
John book specialist (Leeds)
I was drawn to this book having read Peter Tate's Novel called "Seasickness"
I really wanted to get more into where he had got his motivation for the book through his history of practice. I am thinking of becoming a writer myself, and wanted to research further into the adaptablity of this writer from a more theoretical background into a fictional style. Something I know a lot of authors fail at.
I found it to be another shining example of how this author manages to turn a fairly heavy subject into a far more accessable read for not only the Professionals amongst you, but the normal everyday reader as well. It is true that it is aimed more at the medical profession, but I learnt a great deal about how my doctor probably deals with me from it.
Even if you only use it as a reference guide it is a good tool to have.
I would heartedly recommend this writer to you all, a balance like this is hard to find. Well Done Peter!
All Doctors should read this book (and Nurses, Therapists, Pharmacists etc.), 14 Sep 2006
Reviewer:
Mr. M. D. Bradbury "mazzadb" (Wales) -
This is the best place to start when reading about the consultation. It is clear,
straightforward, concise and comprehensive. You can read this in the bath or on the
train -
The reading list at the end is full of gems old and new, and it references all the classic consultation models and strategies, but is still fresh and up to date with all the latest thoughts and ideas.
This is not just for GPs, but GPs actually try to be good at talking to patients, so most will have read this. Any doctor could benefit (even ones working in a lab!) from this book, and I would heartily recommend it to all. Other healthcare workers who consult will also find it invaluable.
A Book For All Doctors, Nurses...And Patients Too, 9 May 2002
Reviewer:
M. Barrett (UK) -
This is an amazing book. Although it's written for GPs primarily, a well thumbed edition should be on every health care professional's bookshelf.
Dr. Tate understands that patient communication is the root from which all effective medical care grows. This book tells you why, and how.
If every patient read it too, they would demand this level of professional care from their own doctors, demanding of them at their consultation visit, "Have you read The Doctor's Communication Handbook?" and not accepting no for an answer.
Peter’s new books for patients could well produce the breakthrough you have been waiting for with your doctor.
At last you will be able to ask the right question and even more importantly you will find the answers much more understandable.
Your relationship with your doctor should blossom with revolutionary and incredible benefits to your most precious asset:
YOUR HEALTH.
For a short time only, prepublication, we are offering a downloadable package of Peter’s brand new books for patients.
This is an incredible and unique opportunity to learn the secrets of the way doctors think and communicate, but more, much more than that, these books will revolutionise your ability to talk to doctors, this over time should produce phenomenally beneficial changes in your health and the health of your loved ones.
The question is: can you really afford not to read these books?
If your health is so important, and it really is: not just to you, but to those who care for you, then you have a responsibility to them as well as to you, to learn how to understand and get the best out of your doctors.
These books are full of proven techniques, tried and tested over 20 years in the training of doctors but for the very first time these trailblazing techniques are made available to you, the patient, and not just your doctor. Peter was one of a group of pioneering medical educators who pushed very hard to improve the teaching of communication to doctors, now he has done it for you, the patient.
With these books you will learn things that at present you just dont know how important it is to know, for example:
Do you know what sort of patient you are?
I mean are you a planner, a fatalist, or someone who thinks all health matters are for health professionals and not your responsibility?
Is it really important to know?
Oh yes it is. In fact it is critical. The sort of communication that will suite you best will depend very strongly on what sort of patient you are.
Peter will help you understand what you think about your health, he takes you step by step and there are easy to fill in questionnaires to help you understand exactly what kind of patient you are.
Did you know that the number of people who take their drugs properly is shockingly low?
Most people don’t take their tablets as their doctor recommends, this means most of us on drugs are not getting the full benefit from the medications. This is an intolerable state of affairs.
So why don’t people take their tablets correctly?
Well the answer is that either they misunderstood their doctor, or possibly there are several other important reasons why people do not follow medical advice. But the usual reason is because you do not agree in some way or other with your doctor.
And why don’t you agree?
Well because your beliefs about your health are not known by your doctor, and often those beliefs clash with your doctors medical intentions, there is a conflict of beliefs, often quite unknown to your doctor. This is not a good state of affairs. Your doctor really needs to know what you think, The Patient’s Guide really shows you how to achieve this.
Peter’s concise and innovative easy to read e-book Thinking about Health will help
you understand those throwaway remarks that mean so much to our future.
And, saving the best till last, the final part of this unbeatable and invaluable package is:
The Patient’s Communication Handbook.
This is the full version, in paperback book form this runs to round about 240 pages and is Peter’s version of his famous communication handbook for doctors now written for patients.
The Patient’s Guide is a shortened and simplified version of this.
This is a very important and revolutionary package that will change how you think about your health and your doctors. It will revolutionise your ability to look after your own health and the health of those you love. All of the books are illustrated with many cartoons, most drawn by Peter himself.
So will it cost a fortune?
No, Peter would like as many patients as possible to read these books, so we have priced them very competitively. So competitively in fact that we are going to give The Patient’s Guide away absolutely free!!!
This means that we can hold the current price for a short time only, probably early in the New Year there will be a considerable increase.
