Frank Lalli, the former editor of Money and George magazines, has devoted his career to getting to the bottom of a good story. When he was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a rare but potentially deadly blood cancer, he put his reporter's instincts to work and got the wonder drug he needed at an affordable price--thousands of dollars less than he was told he would have to spend. Amazed by the complex and arbitrary nature of the health care system, he decided to share what he has learned as his own Health Care Detective so that others can find their best care and save money, too"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 338.47362 La Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 338.47362 La Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 338.47362 Lalli Checked In Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 338.47362 LALLI Checked In Add Copy to MyList Keaau P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 338.47362 La Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waimanalo P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 338.47362 La Checked In Add Copy to MyList
