Description

Product Description

On average, a physician will interrupt a patient describing her symptoms within eighteen seconds. In that short time, many doctors decide on the likely diagnosis and best treatment. Often decisions made this way are correct, but at crucial moments they can also be wrongwith catastrophic consequences. In this myth-shattering book, Jerome Groopman explores the forces and thought processes behind the decisions doctors make. He pinpoints why doctors err and shows when and how they canwith our helpavoid snap judgments, embrace uncertainty, communicate effectively, and deploy other skills that can profoundly impact our health. Groopman draws on a wealth of research, extensive interviews with some of the countrys best doctors, and his own experiences as a doctor and as a patient. In a new afterword for the paperback edition, Groopman offers patients and their family members practical suggestions for improved communication with their physicians. How Doctors Think reveals a profound view of twenty-first-century medical practice, providing medical students, doctors, and patients with the vital information they need to improve health care.
