Deborah Fochler, November 15, 2007

A must read for every patient - and doctor. Doctors are trained all thru medical school to think a certain way. But there is no way to escape personal perceptions or even personality conflicts that enter every relationship.
Several years ago, I was in a bad accident and went into the ER in a lot of pain. The doctor sent me home because even though I said I was hurting - I wasnt crying. But he sent me home with 4 spinal cord fractures and almost cost me my life. Most doctors are well trained, mean well and want to help. But, you as a patient need to know how to communicate honestly and take some responsiblity for your health care. It will only improve the health care system. This book offers much insight into the way the brain of a physician works and processes information. Extremely interesting and thought provoking. And the case histories are very enlightening.
