How Doctors Think
Book • 2007
In this book, Dr. Jerome Groopman explores the forces and thought processes behind the decisions doctors make.
He highlights how doctors often interrupt patients within eighteen seconds to decide on a diagnosis and treatment, which can sometimes lead to catastrophic consequences.
The book draws on extensive interviews with top doctors and Groopman's own experiences as a doctor and patient, providing direct questions patients can ask to improve their care.
It also delves into the challenges of medical practice, including the tension between acknowledging uncertainty and the need to take clinical action, and discusses how understanding these processes can reduce mistakes in diagnosis and treatment.
