I hear from some of my patients who check out your site as a link from mine (www.pituitarycenter.com) and they find your site interesting and reassuring. Just wanted to let you know that I have a book out on Cushing?s Syndrome that some of those who reach your site may find helpful. It can be purchased thru Amazon.com or any other medical textbook vendor. You might list it in the expensive (and perhaps confusing) books section. We think it is the best book out there on the subject. It is, by far, not complete but it is the best we could do given the publishers limitations. Lewis Blevins Director, The Pituitary Center at Vanderbilt Remember - www.iGive.com contributes for books bought through Amazon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 2000 Posts Shauna Posted September 24, 2002 Author Over 2000 Posts Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 That's so awesome that we're linked on that site. I sent notice of his book to Kristy a week or so ago. I like how he describes the book! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lynne Clemens Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 The book's a bit pricy - $195. I noticed that Dr. Blevins also joined the message boards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 2000 Posts Kristy Posted September 25, 2002 Over 2000 Posts Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 I noticed he joined too... guess he wanted to message MaryO. Oh...

Edith Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 Wow, at Amazon.ca it lists $306.86 in our good ol' Canadian dollars. Has anyone read the text? Maybe as an organization, CUSH could purchase it and we could circulate it around and only be responsible for mailing charges? Just a thought!

Guest Lynne Clemens Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 It really took me a long time to find this thread! I bought the book. It arrived today. It was the LAST ONE at Amazon.com. Now I need a medical dictionary to understand it :con: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest arlene Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 Hello everybody, I ordered this book awhile ago and I read it..my opinion is this..it is very expensive I agree but to be honest the best info to be gotten is right here with real people suffering and who have the best knowledge..through my entire journey I believe the best doctor is ourselves!!! I am not sorry that I purchased it but I did not learn anything in that book which I had already learned through this board and some other research I had done. For people who cannot afford this price, you need not fear..it is not necessary and you can learn all you need to know right here. Good luck to all...arlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rose Marie Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 I still haven't bought it, but I will. I'm interested in translating for him for us (tee hee). Maybe soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
