Book Description
The Jock Doc's Body Repair Kit combines a lively
armchair tour of the human anatomy with tons of sane and
step-by-step advice on preventing and treating sports-related
injuries--from neck to toes. Andrew Feldman, M.D., Director
of Sports Medicine at New York's St. Vincent's Hospital, is
an avid athlete who knows the discomfort and frustration of
all kinds of injuries firsthand. Of the thousands of patients
he treats each year, many of them, says Dr. Feldman, could
have avoided worry and expense with just a little information
on how to safely diagnose and treat injuries at home. Here,
he distills over fifteen years of medical (and personal!)
experience into this user-friendly, utterly reliable, and
often humorous guide that takes the white coat pomposity out
of sports medicine and gets you back into the game.
The Jock Doc's Body Repair Kit is essential for any
athlete who shoots hoops, hits the slopes, hangs ten, or
anything in between.
