WHEN THIS DOCTOR TALKS, YOU SHOULD LISTEN.
Thousands of people make an early exit each year and arrive on
medical examiner Jan Garavaglia’s 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 she’s 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 don’t have to
see her, or someone like her, for a good, long time.
? In “Highway to the Morgue,” we learn the one commonsense safety
tip that can prevent deadly accidents—and the reason you should
never drive with the windows half open
? “Code Blue” teaches us how to increase our chances of leaving
the hospital alive—and how to insist that everyone caring for you
practice the easiest hygiene method around
? “Everyday Dangers” informs us why neat freaks live longer—and
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 pre*ion for living a healthier, better, longer
life—and unlike many doctors’ orders, this one is surprisingly easy
to follow.
