"The doctor will see you now." Six words that strike fear into the hearts of many of us. The new book, Patient Sedation Without Medication was written to help healthcare professionals help their patients overcome the anxiousness they feel when undergoing medical tests and procedures- without traditional medication. Authors Elvira Lang, MD—one of the world’s leading experts in procedure hypnosis—and Eleanor Laser, PhD—clinical psychologist and international advocate of procedure hypnosis—drew on extensive controlled research with more than 700 patients, and 17 years of field experience in writing, Patient Sedation Without Medication. "Lang and Laser really get it; patients' fears, their helplessness when caught in the midst of medical procedures, and the huge need of patients to be treated with dignity and respect." - Judy Foreman, Nationally Syndicated Health Columnist

There is no need for patients to suffer! I was the beneficiary of Dr. Elvira Lang's hypnosis protocol on two occasions. First for a biopsy in which I felt I had totally empowered during my procedure (and after a half hour of hypnosis left the procedure room feeling like I'd had a massage I was so relaxed and then energized!) And, my second experience was the day of surgery. None of the medical personnel in the operating room could believe I had arrived in the OR so perfectly calm and without pre-op medication!! Lying on the gurney about to have surgery, the anesthesiologist was writing down the name of the book she needed to know about: "Patient Sedation Without Medication." If you are in the caring profession, you will want this book. And, if you are a patient, you'll want to make sure your health-care practitioner offers you this kind of safe, easy and cost-effective relief from pain and anxiety.
