Book

When doctors don't listen : how to avoid misdiagnoses and unnecessary tests / Leana Wen, M.D. and Joshua M. Kosowsky, M.D.

Wen, Leana S. (Author). Kosowsky, Joshua M. (Added Author).

Summary:

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.
