Pretty good. Sort of a sci-fi/fantasy hybrid. Never got around to reading the sequels.
Jerome Goopman explores the topic of How Doctors Think in an engaging and interesting way. Filled with anecdotes from all parts of medicine and from both patient and doctor perspectives, this book explores a variety of topics. The book has a large scope with only brief glances into each aspect he is exploring. His book definitely stresses the importance of thinking in medicine (not just the use of algorithms) and how that thinking can go astray. He also explores how patients can help their doctors by asking the right questions. I enjoyed the application of this book to medical education (medical students should be taught how their own thinking can interfere with medicine)and the economy of medicine (little time with patients and the influence of drug reps) but would have enjoyed a little information on how these things can be changed in our current system. Overall a very enjoyable and interesting read.
Kind of dumbed-down. Was not terribly impressed.
Although the book was filled with great characters and a dynamic plot, the story was long winded. Not a series that I would recommend.
I honestly do not know how I feel about this book. A review is pending when I have my thoughts sorted out.
