书籍介绍

Despite modern medicine’s infatuation with high-tech gadgetry, the single most powerful diagnostic tool is the doctor-patient conversation, which can uncover the lion’s share of illnesses. However, what patients say and what doctors hear are often two vastly different things.

Patients, anxious to convey their symptoms, feel an urgency to “make their case” to their doctors. Doctors, under pressure to be efficient, multitask while patients speak and often miss the key elements. Add in stereotypes, unconscious bias, conflicting agendas, and fear of lawsuits and the risk of misdiagnosis and medical errors multiplies dangerously.

Though the gulf between what patients say and what doctors hear is often wide, Dr. Danielle Ofri proves that it doesn’t have to be. Through the powerfully resonant human stories that Dr. Ofri’s writing is renowned for, she explores the high-stakes world of doctor-patient communication that we all must navigate. Reporting on the latest research studies and interviewing scholars, doctors, and patients, Dr. Ofri reveals how better communication can lead to better health for all of us.

Danielle Ofri, MD, PhD, is an associate professor of medicine at the New York University School of Medicine and has cared for patients at New York’s Bellevue Hospital for more than two decades. She is the author of, most recently, What Doctors Feel: How Emotions Affect the Practice of Medicine, as well as the critically acclaimed Singular Intimacies, Incidental Findings, Medici...

目录
“Her revealing doctor-patient stories often make her seem like the doctor that every patient wishes they had, and she draws on patient accounts to illustrate the problems that can arise in communication between doctor and patient. This book, however, goes far beyond Ofri’s personal experiences with patients. She delves into the relevant research on communication, citing some ingenious experiments on listening...A much-needed, convincing argument that, regarding doctor-patient communication, the stakes are very high and that what patients say is all too often not what doctors hear—and vice versa.”
—Library Journal
“With disarming candor and penetrating insight, Dr. Ofri illuminates the enormous power of what might seem at first a mundane and insignificant element in the practice of medicine: communication.”
—Deborah Tannen, professor of linguistics at Georgetown University and author of You Just Don’t Understand and You’re Wearing THAT?
“With the meticulous care of Oliver Sacks and the deep humanism of Atul Gawande, Danielle Ofri has written a book about the role of communication in medicine. She presents compelling evidence that even as doctoring appears to be dominated by technology, the human, affective relationship is at the very center of responsible practice.”

用户评论
写得很真诚，作者从个体案例出发，站在患者和医生的角度探讨了医患信任、不遵从医嘱、误诊纠纷等问题。有案例有研究也有作者个人的从医经历。不过看下来还是觉得国内医患关系要更复杂。而且接诊一个病人十五分钟，羡慕了；国内专家门诊你和医生能聊个三分钟不错了。
[有声书] 没有What Doctors Feel那本好看，可能这本的目标人群是医生和医疗体系，强调医生花时间花精力跟病人语言交流的重要性，大部分观点跟强调人与人交流的重要性类似，也可想而知医患交流有时性命攸关，有效交流就更显重要。作为患者，我们或许也需要学会体谅医生会诊的压力（会诊时间之短人数之多信息量之大），普通的检查也不要追求一次想解决N个问题挑选最重要的一两个更有效，意识到医生也是普通人。倒也很好奇反方向的what doctors say what patients hear，毕竟不同医生说相同的内容给患者带来的影响和冲击也会不一样，作为患者如何尽可能获得好的医疗待遇也都是随着年龄增长需要学习体会的课题。
感觉是一本针对现任医师，实习医生，医学院学生，想考医学院学生的一本书。书本身阅读难度不高。读完后会对北美医学院招收什么样的学生有种感觉。
