Dr. Sheldon Blau almost died after undergoing open-heart surgery—not from the surgery or heart disease, but from infectious bacteria introduced during surgery. His in-hospital experiences made him a better doctor, and inspired him to write How to Get Out of the Hospital Alive. The book describes the role of each member of the medical team, shows patients how to become active, effective members of that team, and offers concrete advice about ways to avoid the most common hospital-related errors. Ten Things You Can Do to Get Out of the Hospital Alive - Make sure all your known allergies are clearly marked on your chart, wrist band, or on a piece of paper taped above your bed.
- Mark the area of your body to be operated on with a felt-tip pen.
- Never eat or drink anything before surgery, even if the nurse brings you a food tray.
- Tell your anesthesiologist if you're on any type of medication.
- Have a reliable advocate with you as often as possible throughout your hospital stay.
- Write your name prominently on a piece of paper and tape it to the wall above your bed.
- Always ask the nurse to check the name and dosage of any medication he or she is about to give you.
- Don't let anyone bully you.
- Don't hesitate to get a second—or third—opinion.
- Trust your instincts.

The medical environment has become a labyrinth of interlocking
corporate, hospital, and governmental boards of directors,
infiltrated by the drug companies. Drug company representatives
write glowing articles about pharmaceuticals, which are then signed
by physicians paid handsomely for their cooperation, though they
may not know the adverse side effects of the drugs they promote.
The most toxic substances are often approved first, while milder
and more natural alternatives are ignored for financial reasons.
It's death by medicine.
General Douglas MacArthur, commander of Pacific forces in world war
II, viewed the battle of the Bismarck Sea as a disaster for the
Japanese and a triumph for the Allies. In that great air-sea
confrontation, U..S and Australian air forces proved that air power
could be decisive in preventing the resupply of ground troops by
sea. Months of torturous warfare in the jungles of New Guinea had
left Japanese troops vulnerable to disease and starvation. In the
end, Allied airmen were able to break Japan's grip on New Guinea
and end its treat to Australia though the innovative and aggressive
use of air power. MacArthur's strength lay in a dedicated and
courageous band of airmen who could attack enemy ships from all
direction at any time.
