in the intelligence community. the list includes homeland security secretary jeh johnson and a host of current and former senior security officials. the stolen information was allegedly gleaned from a breach of private e-mail accounts containing the background security files and other documents of cia director john brennan. the hacker claims he infiltrated brennan's account by tricking verizon and aol employees into resetting his password. the twitter account posting the information was abruptly taken down last night. today, the fbi and secret service are racing to identify the hacker and to see if they can build a case against him. sources tell us it does not appear that any classified information was taken, but these top officials faced the prospect of more hacking and further leaks of their private information. robin? >> so disturbing. all right, pierre. now to major milestone for all those people who lost so much money in the bernie madoff scandal. brian ross is here. abc news exclusive with the latest. good morning, brian.

as equal as we can me it. >> strike a blow for equal pay. a lot of women will appreciate that. before we go, you do have fans out there. i know you're an eagles fan. >> i am a huge eagles fan. >> a big night and we have a little message from the eagles cheerleaders. >> really? >> hey, bradley. it's your very own philadelphia a eagle cheerleaders and swoop sending you love. >> all: b-r-a-d-l-e-y, bradley. >> wow. another first for bradley. >> wow. i wish my dad could see that. that's amazing. >> well, thanks a lot for comingng >> no, thanks for having me. >> the movie "burnt" opens next friday. >> bradley reaction was priceless. totally worth it. how are you, bradley? good to see you. that was bradley cooper just saying hello to me. now totoomething we all haveve to deal with. that is our health. navigating the health care system can be overwhelming. there's a great new book. it's called "the patient's playbook" and offers a

predescription, if you will, to help make sure we're getting the best care. the author leslie michelson is here and we're a ao joined by ththdirector of the leukemia program at the presbyterian medical center, also happens to be my doctor, as well, dr. gail roboz, and thanks for being here and thanks for putting it on my radar, gail. i'm telling you, i know you're interviewed for it. leslie, you have worked in the health care industry, and you have found that there are many things t tt can help people, a a you put it all here in the book, and i think people will be surprised by the number of medical errors that are out there and that we need to be aware of. >> yeah, it's a huge problem, robin. preventable medical error is the third leading cause of death in the united states, right behind heart disease and cancer. weweose 400,000 americans each and every year to preventible error. >> but no one ever talks about that. >> and the reason they don't, it

mrs. sacarsnick died in a nursing home, and the reason they don't, it happens quietly. she succumbed to pneumonia. there are no crash sites. no sirens. >> and you want to help put an end to that and, gail, y y lked about it and the reason you reached out, everybobo should read this. doesn't matter where you are, if you're well or not, this is a book for you. >> why? >> i can't think of who wouldn't benefit from reading this. you don't have to be a patient and you don't have to be sick. it's for patients, family members. it's for well people trying to figure out what to ask their doctor. it's for doctors to read and tata a look and try to figure out what the patient a aa consumer and as a self-advdvate needs to get from the doctor. >> it tells you what kind of vitamins you should take and gets down to the basics in all levels like that, but you really start, and this is so true with the quarterback, the primary care physician, leslie. you talk about over and over that that is key in finding that person. how do -- why is it so importantnt and how do you fininthe right onon >> absolutely.y. your primary care physician should be the quarterback of your health care delivery system. that's the person who should

listen to your symptoms, help you find the right experts when you need them and become your partner in wellness. helping you manage your cholesterol, your weight, your blood pressure so you live a longer life. >> even how do you go about finding that first? >> three straightforward steps and i talk about them. the first is take out a piece of paper, make a list of the things that are most important to you. is it the insurance covevege, is it the location? is it the hours they have, the hospital they admit to. second, talk to friends, relatives, neighbors and your physicians, see who they use, see who they think. and then, third, make an appointment. do a consultation. interview the physician just the way you would every other important professional in your life. >> i mean, when you're going to buy a car, you go to all these different dealerships and try to get the best deal and ask friends and that. if you're buying a home, you want to be in a good school district but yet when it comes to our health care, we don't take those statement precautions. we have said over and over in the show, ask your doctor questions. what is the number one question we should ask when looking for a doctor, any kind of way? >> you know, i think you can say

records, you know my story, what is your plan for me and see what the answer is totohat question. what do we do now? what is your plan for me? what is my action? what do i have to do? who do i have to see? what do i have to eat? do i need a specialist? what's my plan? >> and when you're talking about a specialist, you know both -- i know there's some people at home saying this all sounds well and fine, but you know what, i can't afford that. i can't afford to find a specialist. there are resources, aren't there, leslie? >> first of f l, the best medical care doesn't cost any more. most live near major cities and every major city there is an academic medical center that takes all kinds of insurance coverage. one of the secrets of that health care, it doesn't cost more to get the very best. and ere's terrific resources to find the best experts like dr. roboz. the first is a website called expertscape.com where they've organized all the medical literature over the past tenures. all you have to do is put in your diagnosis, theheity

you live in and instantaneouslsl you'll get thehedentities of the physicians and the hospitals who have done the best work. the second is, all the major hospitals now have terrific websites that list the specialties of their physicians and, third, we're a very generous society. we have philanthropies for every single disease, and each of those disease-specific philanthropies has resources and materials to help patients that have been diagnosed with it. all these resources are free for everyone. >> and that is so very important. i know you've been looking over at me because i had my -- i know i need to come in and get my flu shot and you're looking at me as my doctor right now and i'll get th. thank you very much. leslie and gail, so vital and again you don't have to be sick to be able to get something out of this book. i'll come in and see you real soon, gail. thank you, leslie.
