Written by a woman for women, ASK DR. MARIE puts serious medical information into a format that is accessible, fun to read, and empathetic. Its author, Dr. Marie Savard, is the Medical Contributor for ABC News. Women tend to think their problems are unique, specific, unsolvable, and quite often embarrassing. But after fielding thousands of women's health questions during her career, Dr. Marie Savard can safely say that she has heard them all at least twice. What would you ask if your best friend was also a physician? What might your mother ask, if she had the nerve? The answers in this book reveal that there are no off-limits questions, no dark secrets of womanhood. In it, Dr. Marie talks with women directly and honestly, but with the compassion and understanding that comes from more than 30 years of treating health problems.
