Books by Kevin Pezzi, MD

You can order my books from this page: www.pezzi.org/order.php

Please note that some of the books are free, yet are professionally written, full-length books. Incidentally, printed USED copies of one of them (True Emergency Room Stories) have sold on Amazon for as high as $85. (I sold new copies of it for $12.95, not realizing that people would pay much more!) The e-book version is arguably even better, with some juicy story updates and fallout from the first edition, such as being offered the chance to go on a blind date with Katie Couric.

Love & Lust in the ER

Love & Lust in the ER (free)

Before I became an ER doctor, I assumed that emergency rooms treated only genuine emergencies such as heart attacks, strokes, and assorted injuries. That assumption proved to be very naive. In reality, patients go to emergency rooms for just about every imaginable reason, including many that deal with sex, love, and lust. Furthermore, ER doctors, nurses, and patients sometimes become romantically involved with one another, oftentimes in ways that are far more salacious than the romantic entanglements depicted on television medical shows constrained by censorship.

This book presents cases involving everything from puppy love to the real thing. In that hormonally-fueled gamut are some expected things, such as flirting and affairs, but also others that you've probably never heard about, nor could even imagine. There is something about the intensity of emergency rooms that tends to foster passion. After reading these stories, I think you'll agree.

You can read the ER stories on the www.ERlove.com site, or download Love & Lust in the ER, which includes the same cases in an Adobe Acrobat (.pdf Acrobat icon) format. Since the book is free, you can send a copy of it to your friends and family.

True Emergency Room Stories (free)

Think you know what it's like in an Emergency Room just because you watch the television show ER ? Take it from an ER doctor—you don't! Certain aspects of emergency rooms are just not palatable enough for prime-time viewing. The rest of the story, as Paul Harvey would say, is far more interesting. You won't find these stories on TV, but you'll find them in True Emergency Room Stories.

Reader comments:

Ron Lancaster, Radio Host, WDIS, Norfolk MA: “Truly a great book. It's one of the most fascinating books I've read.”

Steve B., Aguanga CA: “I sent the following to a number of friends: Rarely do I give a guarantee! Get this book . . . if you don't have fun with it, I'll buy it from you and send it to someone who has a better sense of humor. … Kevin Pezzi's background may make him the world's most intelligent doctor. By the way, I'd stand on my head if I have to to read ANYTHING from Pezzi!”

Reader, North Miami Beach FL: “From the first sentence, Dr. Pezzi had me riveted. From his collection of outrageous ER experiences to his insightful, candid viewpoints on the state of healthcare in America, he offers a wickedly voyeuristic ride into the real world of emergency medicine. Unlike other ER books which simply offer a compilation of stories, Pezzi writes with a bracing candor that breaks down the “white coat” barrier to reveal the feelings, thoughts and fears of an ER doctor. He’s made an avid fan out of this reader!”

Beverly G., RN, ER Nurse: “I brought the book to work and everyone in my ER read it and copied the cover to buy it for themselves. The book is right on the money and is written extremely well. One RN said most of the ER books are boring, but this one he couldn't put down. I have read it from cover to cover in one day. I love it.”

Sandy, ER, St Anthony’s Hospital: “I loved your book. It is now making the rounds at St Anthony's Hospital! Everyone really likes it. PLEASE tell me that you are going to write another one. Besides the actual stories, I really enjoy your sense of humor and honesty of your feelings.”

Paramedic, Greenbelt MD: “Your ER stories put Michael Crichton (creator of the TV show ER) to shame. You recount your stories quite vividly.”

How to Lose Weight Without Dieting, Drugs, Herbs, Exercise, or Surgery


Want to earn $1000?

I will pay that amount to anyone
who finds a source that presents
better, easier, safer, and more
pleasant ways to lose weight
than the tips in the current
edition of my weight loss book.

See the guarantee on this page.

You can lose weight easily. I did it, and so can you. When I got out of my residency program, I was so fat that I could not see my feet when I stood up. Although I am now 17 years older, I have a better body than most teenagers. How did I get in such good shape—and stay that way? Probably not in the way you think. My work is primarily sedentary, I eat sweets, and I never starve myself. In fact, I usually eat until I am full, and I typically “pig out” at least once per week. I don’t use any drugs or herbs to lose weight. I exercise occasionally, but the workouts are brief and not too strenuous. So how did I lose weight easily, and keep in great shape without torturing myself?

Before I explain that, I must tell you a bit about myself, and why I feel that I am more qualified than an average weight loss expert. I graduated in the top 1% of my class in medical school. If nothing else, that is a testament to the fact that I learned more than 99% of my colleagues. However, the key to generating a real breakthrough in weight loss or any other field is an innovative mind. I may be smarter or more academically successful than 99% of other doctors, but formal schooling is not my forte. My strength is innovation and inventing. I have over 850 inventions and countless innovative ideas. One of those ideas pertains to how a person can lose weight easily without dieting, drugs, herbs, exercise, or surgery.

I conceived this idea years ago, but never mentioned it because it was so obvious to me that I was certain one of the “big name” weight loss experts would also think of it. But they never did. They're just rehashing old ideas and getting rich in the process, even if their advice is lackluster. Take Dr. Phil, for example. He rose to fame as a protégé of Oprah, and he is truly gifted in delivering pithy quips. Lately, however, he seems to believe that he is a weight loss expert. That is laughably ironic to me, considering that Dr. Phil is overweight. I heard him trying to excuse this by blaming it on an old injury, but don’t we all have excuses? I could have stayed a blimp and blamed it on my sedentary job, bad joints, and pudgy genes. But I did not want excuses, I wanted results. I hated schooling, but I love to read extensively. I learned many great weight loss tips, and I developed some tips myself, including the breakthrough idea on how it's possible to lose weight easily without dieting, drugs, herbs, exercise, or surgery. I described these tips in my book, How to Lose Weight Without Dieting, Drugs, Herbs, Exercise, or Surgery. You can buy that book for less than $12, read it in an afternoon, and be on your way to having a great body—easily.

The Science of Sex:
Enhancing Sexual Pleasure, Performance, Attraction, and Desire

Cast away your preconceptions of sex books as being a rehash of things you already know and hence a waste of time. By reading this book, you will learn things that Dr. Ruth and other sexologists have never considered.

Reader comments:

Reader in California: “This book completely blows away any other sex book, by a country mile. To borrow an old European country saying: first comes this book, then there’s a loooooong stretch where there’s nothing . . . then there’s a big pile of manure . . . then another long stretch of nothing . . . then every other book on the market. Well, it’s funnier in German. :-) Anyway, you can go to any bookstore, and replace the entire sex section with this book. No one can complain that you don’t tell it like it is, and explain what to do about it. It’s safe to say there won't be any other book out there to touch this one for interest level, straight talk, and practical advice. Congratulations!”

Scott in Seattle: “Dr. Pezzi, you spoiled my whole weekend! I bought the book on Thursday and then proceeded to get nothing done until I finished it many hours later on Sunday! The Science of Sex may have made me ineffective at getting my work done but it made me much more effective with my lover. It was filled with great information and real action items. I am very impressed and appreciative.”

A fellow MD: “. . . it is vastly superior to anything I have seen on the topic from a medical view.”

Reader in US: “I'm reading the book now . . . fascinating, extremely well written, and an incredible bargain!”

Reader in Florida: “Dr. Pezzi, I absolutely love The Science of Sex and your website. I cannot put into words how much I appreciate and respect your knowledge and attention to detail.

Advanced Enlargement

Like other doctors, in medical school I was taught that penis size is fixed at the end of puberty. I previously believed that, too, and the evidence seemed overwhelming. I then serendipitously discovered a way to trigger what amounts to a “second puberty” of penile growth. The only difference between this “second puberty” and real puberty in terms of penile growth is that the penile growth was much more dramatic the second time. Within a few weeks, my penis size went from embarrassingly small (at least to me) to bigger than some porno stars. I once believed that such a transformation was impossible, but I was wrong, and so were the professors who taught me that myth.

Clearly, penile size is not necessarily fixed at the end of puberty if you provide the body with the proper stimulus to rekindle penile growth. After realizing that my medical school professors were wrong about this topic, I naturally questioned if there are other ways to enlarge the penis. The answer is yes, and I present all of them in Advanced Enlargement. By the way, in that book I do not discuss enlargement techniques that “everyone knows about,” such as jelqing. I consider that to be a garbage technique because I've heard from too many men who said that it either did nothing for them, or it damaged their penis. While the primary focus of Advanced Enlargement is on penile enlargement techniques that go beyond what is presented in The Science of Sex, the information in it is also useful for enhancing libido, sexual pleasure, and performance. Besides the "second puberty" mentioned above, my libido went from "twice a week is good enough" to "twice a day is barely enough," and the pleasure was so intense and gratifying that it triggered an endorphin buzz that lasted for hours.

The tips about how to achieve these effects are just some of the countless things I know that average doctors do not. In addition to being an expert in sex, weight loss, and increasing intelligence, I have priceless information about many other topics, including cancer, diabetes, headaches, menstrual cramps, and acne. If you need help with these or other diseases, you can consult me.

A personal explanation of why I wrote Advanced Enlargement and The Science of Sex: When I graduated from medical school, writing about sex was the last thing on my mind. A decade later, I was convinced that I had to write about it. What changed my opinion? A constellation of several factors, including:

Unlike a car salesman who puts his interests ahead of yours, physicians must put the interests of patients ahead of their personal interests. In medical school, I was taught that if one possesses knowledge that can help others, it is an ethical transgression to withhold that information. I therefore felt morally compelled to write about sex because I knew that I had countless tips that could help people. Personally, I would rather write a book about building sheds or making your own snowmobile or tractor. I could have kept to myself all of the sex info that I acquired over many years of reading and research, but I wanted to share that knowledge so others could benefit from it.

Fascinating Health Secrets:
Intriguing tips on medicine, beauty, health, sleep, nutrition, weight loss, longevity, exercise, brainpower, sexual attraction, and sex

A health book that's packed with information yet is actually enjoyable to read—sound impossible? It's not! Here is what some reviewers said about Fascinating Health Secrets:

Alan Jakeway, Northern Express: “You've got to hand it to Dr. Pezzi—he knows how to craft a health book that's as gripping as a ride through a big city ER. While many health books are as dry and dull as a surgeon's medical transcript, Dr. Pezzi brings a good bedside manner to his book, blending humor, first-person insights and a folksy wisdom with cutting edge medicine. Fascinating Health Secrets is a ‘good read’ page-turner that will keep your attention at the beach as well as any summer novel. Dr. Pezzi's encyclopedic scope is aided by equal measures of humor and intelligence.”

David Hacker, Prime Time News & Observer: “There's an odd fascination with the way Pezzi's mind works. He is a scholar, bright (possibly brilliant), and single-minded. There's plenty of useful information . . . some interesting tidbits . . . life-saving tips . . . and amusing historic trivia. For the most part, you can take this book seriously. At the same time, you can have fun with its folksy, whimsical and chatty style.”

Registered Nurse, Flint MI: “Wow! What a book! How much does it cost? No, I don't care how much — I've got to have that book!”

Reader, Los Angeles CA: “I'm speechless. Fascinating Health Secrets is simply a fantastic book. I can't begin to tell you what a pleasure it is to read—my brain gets such a great workout it feels like drinking 5 cups of coffee. Rarely do I find something so mentally stimulating that I can actually feel my IQ rising as I read it. Apart from the health tips themselves, there is so much killer material in the book. I found myself laughing out loud, and nodding in total agreement. Please accept a virtual handshake and hearty slap on the back for such a wonderful piece of work.”

Retired Dentist, Albion, MI: “That book by Dr. Pezzi is fabulous. You would expect a man who is such an unusually bright person would be beyond the average person to understand. He is so down-to-earth and practical, so sensible and honest. I wish he was practicing here—I would go to him in a minute. That’s one book that won't be loaned to anyone.”

Cancer: Life & Death

Cancer: Life & Death

In this book, I reveal a new cancer therapy that might be the long-sought "magic bullet" cure. If you or a loved one has cancer, this information could make the difference between life and death. This book is free for my best customers (see this page for details); others can purchase it by contacting me.

It is natural to be skeptical of anything that purports to be a cancer cure because hucksters have touted many worthless "cures" for years. However, there is solid science behind this. If you've read my Fascinating Health Secrets book (see above), you know that I believe in some alternative treatments (primarily ones involving good nutrition), yet I think that most alternative therapies are worthless scams devised by people who are scientifically clueless or unethical and greedy. I thought that every alternative cancer treatment was hogwash until I stumbled upon this one. What's different about this treatment is that it involves the action of a drug in a way that specifically targets one of the central defects in cancer cells. In other words, it makes scientific sense, unlike other alternative treatments that do not.

How to Sue* Your Doctor . . . and Win!
*Legitimately or Not

YOU DON’T NEED A MAJOR MEDICAL MISTAKE TO MAKE SOME QUICK CASH!Why play the lottery when your odds of winning money from a lawsuit are so much better?

Why on earth did I write this book? If you've read some of my other books and web sites, you know I think that too many medical malpractice lawsuits are motivated by greed and the desire for revenge, not genuine medical mistakes. Therefore, you may think that I wrote this book to illustrate how darn easy it is to sue, even when the doctor did nothing wrong. In fact, a Harvard study found that over 80% of malpractice suits are lacking merit, frivolous, or otherwise motivated by greed—not true malpractice.

On the other hand, I know that most—probably all—doctors commonly make mistakes because of ignorance, sheer laziness, or not having enough time to do a thorough job. Most such mistakes are of minor to moderate significance; they generally won’t kill or maim you, but they might prolong your illness or create other problems. These errors are generally never brought to the attention of a malpractice attorney, so doctors rarely suffer the consequences of practicing imperfect medicine. Patients (and their attorneys) who read this book are bound to learn many ways to profit from those mistakes. However, if all physicians read this book, they would make fewer mistakes in the first place.

There are numerous reasons to sue your doctor, ranging from true malpractice on his part to the fact that you need some cash and you can't think of any legitimate way to obtain it. Whatever your motive, this book describes numerous legitimate and even some illegitimate ways for you to sue and win, often without the hassle of a malpractice trial. Some of the ways are so open-and-shut that the doctor's insurance company will simply pay you to get you off their back.

Please note that I am not condoning any of the illegitimate techniques; use of them could put YOU in jail. If you use them, I hope that you crash in your Ferrari!
