Book Reviews of How Doctors Think

Book Review: Interesting, but...
Summary: 2 Stars

The book starts out quite interesting and has a topic that many can relate to--what happens when doctors are wrong? Unfortunately, the entire book seems to say on the topic of telling stories about doctors making mistakes. Half the size of the book could be cut down if Groopman simply omitted the tedious amount of repetition in his stories.

Summary of How Doctors Think

How Doctors Think is a window into the mind of the physician and an insightful examination of the all-important relationship between doctors and their patients. In this myth-shattering work, Jerome Groopman explores the forces and thought processes behind the decisions doctors make. He pinpints why doctors succeed and why they err. Most important, Groopman shows when and how doctors can -- with our help -- avoid snap judgments, embrace uncertainty, communicate effectively, and deploy other skills that can profoundly impact our health.
