“Senator Frist has expertly focused his skills and knowledge both as a physician and as a congressional leader to give us a book that belongs in every home.” --Dr. Antonia Novella, former U.S. Surgeon General and current New York State Commissioner of Health
"Dr. Bill Frist is one of the most inspirational people I have ever met.
As a doctor, he has personally saved thousands of lives; in this book, he may help save millions of lives. As a U.S. Senator, he touches the lives of all Americans. If you buy only one book this year, this should be it."
--Dean Ornish, M.D. author, "Dr. Dean Ornish's Program for Reversing Heart Disease" Founder and President, Preventive Medicine Research Institute Clinical
Professor of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco
“Bill Frist is an outstanding senator and accomplished physician with a global perspective and experience in medicine and public health.
He is particularly attuned to the concerns and questions of the American people. Perhaps no issue has raised more concerns and questions than the recent bioterrorist attacks. Bill Frist has listened and he has responded superbly in this book entitled When Every Moment Counts.
It combines quality science with sensitive dialogue and will be a valuable reference for years to come.” --David Satcher, U.S. Surgeon General and Assistant Secretary for Health, 1998-2002
“With this important book, Senator Bill Frist has made another major contribution to the nation’s preparedness for bioterrorism. It can serve as a guide for every family on the actions they can take
to meet the challenge of bioterrorism.” --Senator Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.)
“Apropos the terrorism concerns of the times, an easy-to-read, how-and-when-to book that will also lessen anxiety and prevent panic; the best advice I have read.” --C. Everett Koop, U.S. Surgeon General, 1981–1989
“Senator Frist draws on his knowledge of medicine, public health, and human nature to address pressing questions about how we can protect our families in the event of a bioterror attack—something
about which the nation knows far too little.
His recommendations will not only help prevent infection, they will help prevent panic—and panic can be as great a danger as disease. His leadership was critical during the anthrax attacks, and he has proven himself to be a credible and authorative voice on these issues. His valiant efforts continue in the pages of this book.”
--Sam Nunn, U.S. Senator, Co-Chairman of the Nuclear Threat Initiative
“Vital, timely, practical, and most importantly, accurate information that's also easy to read. It could only have been written by someone who is both a dedicated lawmaker and an experienced
doctor. This book belongs in every household as long as the threat of bioterrorism exists.” --Isadore Rosenfeld, M.D., Distinguished Professor of Clinical Medicine, Cornell Medical
Center, and author of The Best Treatment and Live Now, Age Later
"Sound science and smart medicine by a man who has practiced it ... Everything we wish we didn't have to know, in case we need to know it." --Bono, U2
