WHEN THIS DOCTOR TALKS, YOU SHOULD LISTEN.
Thousands of people make an early exit each year and arrive on medical examiner Jan Garavagliaβs table. What is particularly sad about this is that many of these deaths could easily have been prevented. Although Dr. Garavaglia, or Dr. G, as sheβs known to many, could not tell these individuals how to avoid their fates, we can benefit from her experience and profound insight into the choices we make each day.
In How Not to Die, Dr. G acts as a medical detective to identify the often-unintentional ways we harm our bodies, then shows us how to use that information to live better and smarter. She provides startling tips on how to make wise choices so that we donβt have to see her, or someone like her, for a good, long time.
β’ In βHighway to the Morgue,β we learn the one commonsense safety tip that can prevent deadly accidentsβand the reason you should never drive with the windows half open
β’ βCode Blueβ teaches us how to increase our chances of leaving the hospital aliveβand how to insist that everyone caring for you practice the easiest hygiene method around
β’ βEveryday Dangersβ informs us why neat freaks live longerβand the best ways to stay safe in a car during a lightning storm
Using anecdotes from her cases and a liberal dose of humor, Dr. G gives us her prescription for living a healthier, better, longer lifeβand unlike many doctorsβ orders, this one is surprisingly easy to follow.
