Book Reviews of the How Doctors Think
Customer Review: The Cure of Listening
Summary: 5 Stars
"How Doctors Think" is thoughtful reading for doctors and patience alike. Patients, by the very nature of their dis-eased state, at often ill-at-ease with doctors. Doctors, by the very nature of their training and their task, often put their task of diagnosis above their task of listening.
Jerome Groopman, a doctor himself, reminds doctors and patients alike that the best medicine is the medicine of mutual respect, communication, and cooperation. When patients honestly speak and doctors honestly listen, then accurate diagnosis is most likely. Medicine really is about people.
Well written and interspersed with copious narrative, this is not a stereotypical technical book about a technical field. Rather, "How Doctors Think" provides real life stories about life and death decision-making.
