À propos de cet audio
On average, a physician will interrupt a patient describing her symptoms within 12 seconds. In that short time, many doctors decide on the likely diagnosis and best treatment. Often, decisions made this way are correct, but at crucial moments they can also be wrong - with catastrophic consequences.
In this myth-shattering book, Jerome Groopman pinpoints the forces and thought processes behind the decisions doctors make. He explores why doctors err and shows when and how they can, with our help, avoid snap judgments, embrace uncertainty, communicate effectively, and deploy other skills that can have a profound impact on our health.
Groopman draws on a wealth of research, extensive interviews with some of the country's best physicians, and his own experiences as a doctor and patient. He has learned many of the lessons in this book the hard way, from his own mistakes and from errors his doctors made in treating his own debilitating medical problems.
How Doctors Think reveals a profound new view of 21st-century medical practice, giving doctors and patients the vital information they need to make better judgments together.

"A revealing, often disturbing look at what goes on in doctors' minds when treating patients....A highly pleasurable must-read. "(Kirkus)
"I wish I had read this book when I was in medical school, and I'm glad I've read it now....Every reflective doctor will learn from this book....every prospective patient will find thoughtful advice for communicating successfully." (Publishers Weekly)
For patients, knowing how physicians can err in their thinking and specific questions to ask is very useful.
My criticism of the book is that I think that it does tend toward doctor bashing a little bit. He recounts so many stories of missed diagnoses which is important for the book. But the fact is that most of the time a physician is correct and I think this book subtly and unconsciously encourages doctor shopping. Learn how to have transparent conversations with your doctor so that you can relay your values so that you can come to a treatment plan that works for you. If your doctor isn’t willing to do this then that’s a good reason to find a new doctor. Being a patient is not a passive thing, you play a critical role in getting the outcome that you want and aligns with your values.
Great book for physicians and patients
