Author, Every Patient Tells A Story: Medical Mysteries and the Art of Diagnosis
Of all the data that physicians collect on patients as they try to make a diagnosis, the patient's lived experience of his or her illness is essential to this process and can only be gathered through actual conversation with the patient. Moreover, once the diagnosis is made, the doctor’s effective transmission of that story—now completed—back to the patient is key to effective treatment. In this Medical Center Hour, physician-author Lisa Sanders (who writes the popular “Diagnosis” column in the New York Times Magazine and the “Think Like a Doctor” blog in the New York Times) probes the crucial exchanges between doctor and patient that are at the heart of every medical mystery and its solution.
