520 8  Annotation|bEvery year, millions of healthy women undergo 
       a variety of screening tests without understanding why or 
       the meaning of the outcome. If you are among those women, 
       overwhelmed by information and baffled by results, this is
       the book you've been waiting for. In straightforward, 
       personable prose, "A Woman's Concise Guide to Common 
       Medical Tests surveys a wide variety of standard tests 
       commonly suggested by doctors. Using the recommendations 
       of the U.S. Preventative Health Services Task Force as a 
       starting point, physicians Michele C. Moore and Caroline 
       M. de Costa describe and explain screening tests for STDs 
       and other communicable diseases, diabetes, thyroid disease,
       bone loss, various genetic tests, pregnancy, and cancer 
       (including breast, colon, and skin). A section on common 
       blood tests demystifies the numerical results that can be 
       virtually impossible for women outside the medical 
       profession to interpret. The authors detail what is 
       considered "normal" as well as what's not, to help women 
       make sense of their, results. As practicing physicians, 
       both authors have fielded patients' questions about 
       standard screening tests and understand what women should 
       know but often feel afraid to ask about. For each test, 
       there is an explanation of why it may be ordered, how it 
       is done, what sort of preparation may be involved, and 
       what risks may be incurred. As the health-care industry 
       continues to evolve, the amount of medical information 
       available to women about their health can be overwhelming 
       and confusing. Without being encyclopedic or intimidating,
       "A Woman's Concise Guide to Common Medical Tests offers 
       all the facts you need about screening tests, all in one 
       place.
