WHAT A GREAT BOOK/DVD!!! It is often frightening going to a physician and more so if it’s an emergency. Not being able to communicate can only exacerbate an already difficult situation. “Medi-Sign” is a great resource for facilitating communication and reducing fear. This book is a treasure!Dr. Robert C. Anderson, Director of Behavioral Medicine & Bioethics, Utah Valley Family Medicine Residency, Provo, Utah.
