In 2006 Carole's book "Good Health in the 21st. Century" was published by Scribe. This book was written primarily to answer the questions she is most often asked by patients. It is clear that the Internet offers unprecedented opportunity for people to understand their health problems, and the medications they are taking. While some doctors see this as a disaster - Carole feels that such patient involvement can enhance patient care.
To this end, her aim has been to give people some medical literacy, and enable them to undertake some real preventative measures - an area which often takes second place in medical care.
A secondary aim is to enable people to have focussed discussion with their doctors and to resist hard sell from the pharmaceutical industry and other vested interests. She wants them to be able to sort good information from bad.
Her book won the 2006 Qld. Premier's award for science writing.
