Senator Bill Frist, M.D. 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.

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.

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-MA)

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, 1981-89

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.

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.
