Product Description:
How Doctors Think is a window into the mind of the physician and an insightful examination of the all-important relationship between doctors and their patients. In this myth-shattering work, Jerome Groopman explores the forces and thought processes behind the decisions doctors make. He pinpints why doctors succeed and why they err. Most important, Groopman shows when and how doctors can -- with our help -- avoid snap judgments, embrace uncertainty, communicate effectively, and deploy other skills that can profoundly impact our health.

- How Nurses Think...
It's interesting to know that the number one reason people go to an Emergency room is for Abdominal pain; not Chest Pain - which is a complex complaint for any doctor or nurse to deal with. Every doctor is known to make mistakes; it's a fact of science and nature. Sometimes when working full-time with heavy caseloads, it's easy to burn - out and and make an error which may result in the demise of patients presenting with vaque complaints. No one can be 100% right all the time; doctors are mere humans ... Read More

- Very informative and interesting
I just finished "How Doctors Think" and I must say, it was a very informative read. I found the short case histories and subsequent discussions to be very interesting and was particularly moved by the case of the Vietnamese infant. I agree with the author, that a major shift in clinical practice is long overdue which takes into account what we now know about cognition. This is a great book for doctors and patients alike which raises some serious questions for both parties to consider.

- An excellent read and a must read for doctors and patients alike.
Patients are not items in an assembly line. Each individual is different externally and internally; the chemistry is also different. You cannot treat all of them using the same idea or technique or knowledge just as much as they are not molded using the same template or cookie cutter. You cannot relate the sound of hoofs merely to horses; they could be zebras.

Good doctors have to think out of the box. What they studied in medical school, read in a medical journal, and heard from their peers' ... Read More

- Insightful book to this science researcher -- IF you skip chapter 5
I accidentally stumbled upon Jerome Groopman's book, and picked it up figuring it might be worth reading. As a science researcher who's considered attending medical school, Dr. Groopman's book was insightful in confronting the many problems affecting physicians and medical schools today. After several chapters of meaningful stories, I came to chapter 5, `A New Mother's Challenge". I wish I had skipped this chapter.

Groopman begins by explaining the story of a woman, Rachel, who adopts a baby from ... Read More

- Without risking failure there is zero chance of success

When Dr. Jerome Groopman began his medical internship at the Massachusetts General Hospital, he placed a high priority on facts. While in medical school he had tirelessly tried to "store an encyclopedia in [his] mind" as so that when faced with patients, he could "open the mental book and find the correct diagnosis and treatment." Thirty years later he saw students and residents relying on statistics, algorithms, "evidence-based" guidelines -- tools he feared would shackle their cognitive processes. How ... Read More
