  Reviews - Boston Globe, Nov. 11, 2007: "Many hospitals in the Boston area are using Prepare for Surgery, Heal Faster, the mind-body program, largely because patients are demanding it. Some patients get the book and relaxation CD and follow the program on their own and others take part in group or private one-hour workshops. Hospital staff and their patients who use the techniques report that before and after surgery patients feel more peaceful and in control. They have less pain and fewer complications, use less pain medication, recover faster and leave the hospital sooner." OR Manager, Nov 2000 wrote: "Gynecologic oncology patients leaving the hospital in 3-4 days after a total abdominal hysterectomy-a day or two less than usual. These are the effects anesthesiologist Jean Henney, MD, says she has seen since instituting Prepare for Surgery, Heal Faster, a psychological preparation for surgery. Dr. Henney has championed this program at the Kaiser Foundation Hospital in Santa Clara, California." In the newsletter of the Association of Women Surgeons, Fall 1996, Dixie Mills, MD, FACS wrote: "I am still continually amazed at patients' outcomes when using Prepare for Surgery, Heal Faster-they really do wake up quicker, go home sooner, and use less pain medication. Patients who obtain the relaxation CD used with the book and listen to it for at least a week before their operation also have an almost uncanny glow and serenity about them during the pre-op preparation. This book is a beginning in returning the human spirit to our now overly high-tech, sterile ORs.

    I'm very disappointed with this seller! The sent me a book that had water damage. It wasn't listed correctly. I filed for a return and they took all of the 5 days allotted to approve. I shipped it back and they didn't issue a refund when the book arrived. eBay finally had to get involved and issue the refund. Really terrible customer service...never even heard from the seller. I wouldn't order from this vendor again.
