In this examination of the doctor-patient relationship, Drs.
Wen and Kosowsky argue that diagnosis, once the cornerstone
of medicine, is fast becoming a lost art, with grave
consequences. Using real-life stories of
cookbook-diagnoses-gone-bad, the doctors illustrate how
active patient participation can prevent these mistakes. Wen
and Kosowsky offer tangible follow-up questions patients can
easily incorporate into every doctor’s visit to avoid
counterproductive and even potentially harmful tests. In the
pursuit for the best medical care available, readers can’t
afford to miss out on these inside-tips and
more: - How to deal with a doctor who seems too
busy to listen to you
- 8-Pillars to a Better
Diagnosis
- How to tell the whole story of your
illness
- Learning test risks and evaluating whether
they’re worth it
- How to get a working diagnosis at
the end of every doctor's visit
By empowering
patients to engage with their doctors as partners in their
diagnosis, When Doctors Don't Listen is
an essential guide that enables patients to speak
up and take back control of their health care.
