Produktbeschreibung
This book is a collection of stories, often suggested by a patient encounter. Patients are our best teachers. Each story aims to educate, entertain and inspire. You might be faced with issues like these: ¿ Do patients understand enough about their body, in health and in disease? ¿ Should we all have our own Health Passport to allow us to best access the health landscape? ¿ Clinical skills add to patient evaluation: what are we losing with telemedicine? ¿ Laughter is the best medicine: how do we incorporate it into our work? ¿ We are human: we have to learn to park our prejudice, and see through patient eyes. ¿ Where would we be without vaccines, anesthesia, and drugs? A retrospective is a telling tale. ¿ We are good at extending the quantity our life, but what about the quality? ¿ Do hospitals (and doctors) learn from mistakes? Does the system learn? ¿ Is dis-information the new illness of our time? Are we teaching critical analysis? ¿ Listen to your workplace colleagues: they may have seen what you have missed. ¿ Communication is key: data the lock: quality improvement the door - am I right? If these questions interest you, maybe they will stimulate discussion. Patients (including you, me, friends and family) often have valuable insights into wellness: let's work towards best care.
