It has influenced how I think about doctors and medical practice. ( ) This book was written by an E.R. doc, who is a hero-in-medicine to my now-E.R. doc son. So enthusiastic was our son about this book, that he sent two copies to us, so both dad and mom could be reading and marking up at the same time. Thanks, my child! It really was that good! With a foreword full of Dr. Hippocrates, and chapters like: Secrets from the House of Medicine: 1-We Don’t Know, 2-It Doesn’t Work, 3-We Don’t Agree, 4-We Don’t Talk, 5-We Prefer Tests, 6-We Won’t Unlearn (The Pseudoaxioms), 7-We’re Missing the Meaning (The Placebo Paradox), 8-You’re a Number (The NNT), and 9-A New Old Paradigm, illustrated with examples from his own experience, and filled with content about abdominal pain, allergies, mammograms and so, so much more – I found this an un-put-down-able book. “…while today’s physicians take a lifetime oath adapted directly from his writings,Hippocrates wouldn’t recognize our interpretation of the Art.” Page xvi sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"Aclear-sighted, heartfelt, and humane story of the needless tests and treatments that cripple healthcare....as a guide to good medicine, it may help us get back to the essence of what good doctors do: be with patients in healing." --Samuel Shem, M.D., author of The House of God and The Spirit of the Place In Hippocrates' Shadow, Dr. David H. Newman upends our understanding of the doctor-patient relationship and offers a new paradigm of honesty and communication. He sees a disregard for the healing power of the bond that originated with Hippocrates, and, ultimately, a disconnect between doctors and their oath to"do no harm." Exposing the patterns of secrecy and habit in modern medicine's carefully protected subculture, Dr. Newman argues that doctors and patients cling to tradition and yield to demands for pills or tests. Citing fascinating studies that show why antibiotics for sore throats are almost always unnecessary; how cough syrup is rarely more effective than a sugar pill; and why CPR is violent, invasive--and almost always futile, this thought-provoking book cuts to the heart of what really works, and what doesn't, in medicine.
