A prominent speaker on health care, Dr. Soden has recognized a need for a readable, accessible book that teaches medical students how to interact with patients and deal with difficult medical issues. WHAT EVERY DOCTOR SHOULD KNOW prepares students to confront difficult subjects such as death and dying . medical ethics . dealing with difficult patients . gender issues . aging . and medications and medical errors.Begins each chapter with a vignette involving patients and medical students that illustrates real-life situations in hospitals and primary care settings. Features a novelistic writing style that makes the subject matter come alive for medical students. Covers all of the material taught in "Introduction to Clinical Medicine" courses in medical school. Addresses hot topics such as "Listening - the Key to Healing for Doctors," "Difficult Doctors, Difficult Patients," and "Medications and Medical Errors."
This book was amazing in my opinion. It talks about everything from problems in the healthcare field to patient-doctor communication and its barriers, and how doctors must know the science of medicine as well as the "art of medicine" to become great physicians. I really enjoyed reading this book and it has reinforced all my idealistic views of what kind of doctor I hope to be.Every doctor, patient, or anyone who has any interest in medicine should read this book. Absolutely worth it!!!
