The author is an ambulance chasing advertiser.

Ordinarily, I wouldn't write one of these. But today on twitter, I happened to Retweet someone's link, the link was to a photo and a phone number for a missing 14 year old girl. Not 5 minutes later, the author of this book proceeded to follow me, her profile on twitter is basically an advertisement for this book. Very very skeevy, using a missing child to SELL YOUR BOOK.

I question anyone who uses a missing kid to promote sales for their private venture. It's a missing kid, not your personal billboard.

This book has a paragraph on every page printed again in bold text.  Evidently the author thinks that once isn't enough and we need to read his special paragraphs twice.  I suspect the real reason is to artificially boost the number of pages in the book without having to actually write something new. Seems kind of deceptive, especially for an author who promotes himself as some sort of preacher.

I think the author is following a formula:  dying people, author's reconnection with that person, etc.  This book would have been a good read had I not read Tuesdays with Morrie.  Same song; second verse.

Please believe that this guy is only trying to sell his information. He is so busy selling that he dosen't allow this book to help people. He should of just placed alot of classified ads for all the offers that are in this book. You will be able to find very little info that will be helpful to you. So I would advise that you just skim through this book at your local libary or book store and pick out what you need to know and thats it.

Kindle Edition edit
Review Kindle Unlimited? {on pre-order/not out yet so not positive, but writer's books usually are} and I have it because it's one of my {now} rare ARCs/the here's a free copy no strings attached but really hope you review it books. As an American, even one pretty familar with most Brit things, found it a bit hard to get in to this, as in overall a good story but then kept thinking of MASH and Scrubs {both American but just saying} so those here and there cofusing spots for me and all.

Stanley Fields Hospital is in trouble. The administration is a disaster, the budget is in free-fall, and the Chief Executive is more interested in making paper aeroplanes than in making things work. Doctor Tom Rysarian is shallow, selfish, and monumentally lazy. His main objective is to survive each shift without having someone shout at him, vomit on him, or make him do any more work than is absolutely necessary. But when AllHealth - an amoral, multinational private health company - swoop down to pick at the bones of the dying hospital, Rysarian finds himself drawn into attempts to resist the takeover... Presenting Complaints is a satirical novel about the privati$ation of the NHS...and about what life's really like as a junior doctor. Half of all profits from the sale of this book are being donated to Cystic Fibrosis UK

I recall when this author first published a booklet (and at 86 pages this again is little more than a booklet), but then watching newspaper headlines of people dying slow, agonising deaths by this method. Although those were directly connected (a right to die group distributed them, with one of their members being questioned by police), the blame could not be placed on the contents of the book per se. Some while ago, Chabot did some case studies of people dying by stopping eating and drinking and noticed that, even in liberal Netherlands, several had considerable problems. Somehow this can be glossed over in the enthusiastic sales reception and embracing of the 'idea' by desperate individuals. Within weeks of this edition being published (which seems largely a re-hash of his earlier work), Jean Davies, a prominent English right-to-die campaigner stopped eating and drinking in order to die: she described the process as "hell" (public records). Chabot has genuinely added to work and studies done by other people in a small way academically; but the blithe suggestion that one can simply "take control" as the title suggests is, it would seem, more about marketing. For a more balanced view, read one of the primary writers on willed death, such as Humphry, Docker or Nitschke. Chabot's booklet is more suited to person living in Holland who both read it slowly and are assured of Dutch medical assistance during the process.

The book is like a marketing vehicle for the author to promote his consulting business. Lots of text without any useful outcome.

I'll be honest and open Mr. Trudeau is an oppurtunist with all the different products and infomercials he's been promoting ofcourse he's out to make money for himself and i think he goes in circles mentioning the things over and over the book could've been cut about 150-200 pages i myself work in the healthcare field and i really don't expect med students and doctors to give this book a good rating however coming from a person who's on the low end of the totem pole in the healthcare field i've seen patients come back time after time to cut on this and that(IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!)i've seen patients nicked in the wrong place in surgery which cause more major problems the thing is Mr. Trudeau is not really saying there is a cure i believe he is leading us to a gateway of prevention my own mother who i feel would've lived longer if given some of the information on doing all body cleanse to eat certain foods and take herbs and supplements i do see some discrapencies in some of the things Mr. Trudeau is saying and is a bit extreme however i believe its a jump start for those who don't know about natural alternatives i really feel that people who don't don't like the book as i mentioned before healthcare professionals and people who are so far along with illness that it was too late to work for them and for the gentleman who got to page 88 i felt the same way but keep reading it gets more informative now the none believers out there i don't agree with Mr. Trudeau fee webstie i think people who bought the book new should receive free excess to it remember Mr. Trudeau is an oppurtunist just like all the doctors and drug companies sure it maybe all about the money however he is selling a good product the book was very informative to me i give this book 3 stars do to the fact he went on and on about the law suits the fda the government it was stop and go during the whole book about the fda and the government lawsuits and subscribe to his website and how he's not doing it for the money which i think is not true but thats my opinion i just believe that the book is good as far as info but i do feel Mr. Trudeau is promoting for more sells of the website but how many books on natural remedies are made to the public through infomercials Mr. Trudeau is the first i've seen its up to you to look at Mr.trudeau and say oh yeah he's selling a book and website however the book is informative.

Coronary quickly draws the reader into the world of healthcare gone wrong. From the first chapter about Felix Elialde's experience in Redding in July 1992, you want to know more. This continues as the author takes you though the events leading up to the raid on Redding Medical Center on October 30, 2002. Father Corapi an unconventional Catholic priest who is told by Dr Moon that he would need a triple bypass surgery the next day, and then is released and allowed to reschedule this "life saving surgery" is left disturbed and confused. This event puts in motion the events that will lead to an investigation and eventually a raid and legal action by the government on Redding Medical Center and its owner Tenet Healthcare.

 The author, Stephen Klaidman, disseminates the information and story so well that many times it is as if you are reading a non-fiction novel. This book is well written and the subject exceptionally interesting. However, I feel that in some cases, especially with Father Corapi and many of the attorneys involved, we are given too much information that did not directly deal with the events that took place at RMC. In addition the legal battle that in sues after the raid of the hospital seems to be dragged out and the information could have been given to the reader in a condensed format.

After reading this book, I have recommend it to everyone I know. It brings to light a number of problems facing the US healthcare system. I also believe it shows that patients need to be more demanding in asking for a second opinion and doctors need to be understanding when patients do so. It also shows the reader that greed exists in healthcare and that just because someone had an M.D. after their name, it does not mean they have your best interest at heart. The book also deals with the ethics of corporate run for profit healthcare; it is unbelievable to imagine that upper level management and nurses, and techs did not know what was going on. So why did it take so long for someone to speak up and for someone to listen?

Doctor Dilan Ellegala is tired and need of a change when he goes to a remote area in Tanzania in Africa to perform neurosurgery. Face with overwhelming need, he is forced to improvise and begins to train Mayegga, an assistant medical officer, do brain surgery. It helps that desperate patients will travel hours to chance surgery with an unlicensed doctor when their only other option is a certain painful death.

Much of the book is about Ellegalas efforts to develop a treatment and training plan that will continue in his absence. Obstacles range from lack of funding, equipment, regulations, self-discipline, and contractual obligations. At times, Ellegalas ego gets in the way. His unbalanced life and failure to follow through continues until he meets Carin Hoek, a missionary pediatrician. As their relationship develops, so does his ability to focus and gather support.

The author does a good job describing the unorthodox methods, surgeries, and environment. He skims the surface of despair and illustrates how even basic medical care, could prevent death. Although there are some successes and lives saved, it is not a happy ever after tale. It is just one way, one surgeon, looked at a global problem and tried help.

LibraryThing Early Reviewers Giveaway randomly chose me to receive this book free from the publisher. Although encouraged, I was under no obligation to write a review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Sounds like a good way to advertise.  I wonder, however, if the writer ever ran into trouble with the universities that he left the fliers at for littering or other university policy offence's for the advertising method described.  I would like to hear about those issues and how he maneuvered around them to maintain his income stream with his advertising method.  Other than that a good read, and a viable advertising method.

The author mentions numerous times that he has daily word count goals when writing the book, and you really feel it when reading it. It's disorganized and way longer than it needs to be.

He talks about what an amazing, persuasive writer he is, and how he's able to generate content so quickly. Again, this book would benefit from some tight editing and an author that is not so convinced of his abilities.

I don't have a lot of takeaways from this book. Anything in here has been said much better elsewhere - your time is better spent with books under the "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought" section.

I read the ebook. It's not short but it's an easy read, so I read it all. The 19.99 USD price for the softcover is definitely not worth it.

The author lost some credibility with me when he talked about getting his start on the Warrior Forum, which is 99% aspiring info marketers peddling scammy info products. He made an info product called "Girl Gets Ring" and is a self-proclaimed dating authority.

There is a lot of ego in this book, and you get the sense that the author is engaging in a bit of a confidence game, which is very consistent with the Warrior Forum/info marketer style of doing business, where you decide to promote yourself as an expert, and then you over-promise and under-deliver.

It's not as easy to get a profitable info product going these days, probably because Google helps keep that junk from ranking. So now he writes a bunch of books on Amazon under pseudonyms - hopefully Amazon will eventually do some curating of their own.

He talks about things like CPA (cost per action) networks. I've generated lots of income with CPA offers in the past, but I'd never advised people to jump into that these days.

I think it's cool that the author lives on a tropical island somewhere (Philippines?) writing Amazon books. But I don't want to be a content marketer like he is, doing videos and podcasts and writing and writing and writing. I don't think it's that sustainable, and I think the result is products with questionable value. I'd rather build something of which I'm proud, not something that requires pseudonyms.

This book does could have been written in three books not five. The author is stretching out for the sake of money and losing interewt

Get his first book too, called "Medical Medium".  Go on the "Medical Medium" Facebook site, Hay House Radio, and Cloud ot iCloud I think it is...one of the two.  This man has a gift from God to heal the mystery diseases of today.  He fought his mission until God saved him and his dog from drowning.  He feels the sicknesses - things that are wrong with people.  It is very hard and stressful for him, but he has communication with an angel that he calls "Spirit".  He is NOT a psychic or anything like that.  I have noticed that what he says goes along with what is called the "Word of Wisdom" in my church, but some people have an intolerance to gluten.  I had a problem with GERD, but I increased the foods he said to, and backed off the ones he said not to eat while healing, and I am well afer several years of sickness.  FIVE STARS!!

As an educator and author I support my colleagues and peers in their professional publishing endeavours and I applaud Ms Aehlert for this most recent publication she has worked on.

Given the scope and breadth of her prior works I feel this will make a good core textbook for EMT/Paramedic programs, HOWEVER - I do not see Ms Aehlert's credentials relevant to her published work.

I would like to make it clear that Ms Aehlert is a Registered Nurse, and she is listed as the author/editor for a PARAMEDIC course textbook.  I have researched her background and I cannot find her to have Paramedic or National Registry credentials.  If I am wrong in this, and someone shows me some references, I will humbly stand corrected.

My personal feeling is that if you are going to put yourself so visible as an educator, author, editor then you should at a minimum state clearly the relevant credentials.  In the classes I've authored and taught as well as my own publication, I clearly and unashamedly cite my credentials and I will never try to stand myself up as an authority figure on topics/material that I don't hold the appropriate credentials.

To the reader of this review, please be aware that I am not trying to bring any ill-will to Ms Aehlert nor to adversely affect her professional publishing, editing or authoring venues; I am only trying to point out something which I felt was lacking in reviewing this text and trying to help other potential purchasers as well due to the limited information presented in Amazon's product page.

The book wasn't funny and the calls were not particularly interesing.  I could not bring myself to finish the book.  Author sounds like a teenager loose on the world with emergency lights and sirens.  I was embarrassed for my profession and would hate to have the author as my partner.
