Epilogue

Planner's Note

I'm not suggesting that you question your doctor's prescription.
Knowing medical terminology can help you understand illnesses and patients more deeply when you or a family member is sick.
Understanding why treatments and prescriptions work the way they do can help reduce anxiety and make it easier to trust and follow them.
People tend to be more persuaded by what they say themselves rather than what others say, and they don't want to listen to what others say.
I hope this book will help us understand our bodies.
