Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary: "The ability of doctors to properly diagnose and treat patients is often
colored by nonspecific factors that can affect outcomes in profound ways. Communication
between doctors and patients is key, but often what is left unsaid is just as important,
and messages from outside sources such as medical journals, drug companies, and other
patients can affect how a doctor treats anyone patient at anyone time. This book outlines
the nonspecific factors that come into play when doctors and patients interact, how both
doctors and patients can overcome these messages to focus in on the health of the person
sitting on the table, and how psychological factors in both the doctor and the patient can
affect medical outcomes. Anyone hoping to improve the medical care they give or the
medical care they get will find in these pages strategies for improving those results" -
