{"product_id":"the-patient-is-a-pigeon-ken-hajek-9781312138261","title":"The Patient is a Pigeon","description":"The high cost of blind trust in health care: A young woman is told she needs 12 fillings - but 10 of the teeth have tea stains, not decay. A man is prescribed an expensive deep cleaning - but a week of properly brushing his teeth restores his gums and protects his wallet. Drawing from 35 years of experience, Dr. Ken Hajek builds a persuasive case that the healthcare world is full of pressures and incentives that lead to over-diagnosis and over-treatment for the unwary patient. In The Patient is a Pigeon, Dr. Hajek offers a compelling cure: turning patients into informed consumers so they can make smart choices about their care.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ken Hajek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1312138262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781312138261\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.12d","brand":"Ken Hajek","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48622075347199,"sku":"9781312138261","price":6.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-patient-is-a-pigeon-ken-hajek-9781312138261","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
