Query: Extremely disappointing

At their best, Maeve's books contain wonderful warmth and humour. This one, sadly, falls far short of that promise.For example, various sections (such as the one on how uncomfortabless with being undressed means self-obsession), rather than being witty or understanding of a patient's pain and fear, seem instructions on how to be a "good patient," to cause doctors or nurses maximum convenience. Many of those who are ill have found that doctors are not the nicest of people with whom to deal, and there is nothing to make a patient feel comfort or empathy in this book. The little "poem" about telling about eating, smoking, and drinking is far from funny.I would not dream of giving this to anyone who was ill. The copy I'd intended to present ended up in my recycling bin.
