The ideas in this book were good but it could have easily been condensed into a PowerPoint presentation and shown in a 2 hour class setting. The basics of the book are: be empathetic, be aware of and nutral on cultural differences, and don't be a dick.

It's a good book and gives a lot of information about communicating with patients from a health professional perspective, but it was a lot of reading and was somewhat hard to study from it.

I purchased this book thinking it was one I needed. I came to find out that I did not need it until March. It is in good condition and almost like new.

having this book has made my life less stressful. sure glad I got it thanks to you I made it with straight A's

The book was is great shape and all it suits my needs just fine. It makes it much easier than the online books.

I enjoyed the book, it will help with my studies in school and i can keep it for after school

It arrived quickly and I was very happy with this.

Arrived quickly. Product as described.
