Dr. Joseph Ciabattoni, Ph.D., M.D., helps people gain greater control of their healthcare as he launches his practical guidebook, Doctor C’s Medical Guide. Dr. C provides laypeople with everything they need to know about common diseases. In his detailed guidebook, Dr. C discusses common everyday medical problems and the various methods of prevention and treatment.

The book provides additional useful information, including appropriate use of over-the-counter medications, first aid procedures, and proper techniques for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the Heimlich maneuver. Also included are an extensive glossary of medical terms and instructions on reading nutrition labels and prescriptions.
