Every Patient Tells a Story

Medical Mysteries and the Art of Diagnosis
May 17, 2013Pisinga rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
This book is for everyone who is interested in medicine, and should be must for doctors and future doctors. I liked that the author is not defending doctors for their mistakes in diagnosis of diseases, I would say she is defending patients. It is rare in medical literature for general public. Usually doctors are trying explain what was wrong from the point of view that patients are mostly to blame. In this book she is strongly advocates for physical examination of the patient's body, actually touching and feeling, and not just relying on tests and are limiting the diagnosis attributing all symptoms to common diseases. Kind of Sherlock Holms work should be done by each of doctors, no matter of medical field.
