don't let the "journal" fool you, Aug 16 2009

This review is from: A Woman's Health Journal: A Personal Record of Vital Health and Medical Information (Hardcover)
This is a skinny book, about half an inch thick, with pages for you to record if relatives have had certain health conditions. There's also two pages for you to record diets, and a few pages for you to record other things. I was looking for a journal to write notes in for my doctor's visits - more than just two pages. I found this book to be less of a journal and more of a "what's my health history" book.
