Book Reviews of How Doctors Think
Book Review: Fast delivery, awesome book!
Summary: 5 Stars
Incredibly fast delivery! I did standard shipping and it came in 2 days! Very interesting read...I'm starting medical school in the fall and this was very insightful in terms of what I need to be on the lookout for when I'm learning and practicing medicine. Also a good read for lay people--it teaches you that if you go to the doctor and something doesn't sound right to you, you SHOULD question what the doctor is saying! Be informed and proactive about your health! Don't take anything at face value!
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.
