Description
Kenneth Brigham and Michael Jones have worked in the American healthcare system for many years. Based on their experience, they came to deep and accurate conclusions. For example, that treatment is better when the patient is meticulous, and his doctor does not consider himself infallible, and they communicate closely with each other. The authors give a lot of practical advice: is it possible to unconditionally trust medical recommendations, how to ask the right questions at the right time, what to expect from a hospital stay, and when to think about choosing another specialist. The book will be of interest to anyone who, due to circumstances, resorts to the help of doctors, as well as medical professionals who want to improve their professionalism and work with patients more efficiently.
