Every Patient Tells a Story

Good

After reading this book can easily say that it's one of the best books written about Medicine as a field in today's times. It's a great read for anyone in the medical field be it medical students, resident doctors or consultant doctors. Lisa Sanders describes various things in such a simple & articulate manner. In this book through a number of unique patient stories, she provides great insights about the practice of Medicine be it history taking, physical examination or diagnosis and even addresses things like failures and mistakes in the process of learning Medicine. Also a unique thing is the universal appeal this book and it's writings have. I sitting and reading it in India and learning and practicing Modern Medicine in India could very well relate with most of the stories and topics in the book that were based in USA. It's such a great book that has been such a treat to read as a medical student.

Cases discussed in this book were wonderful.

Perfect Book To Read.

Observation is the key for a successful Doctor is getting emphasised beautifully in the book.

To know the patient’s point & his views

cases where interesting, rest of the writing not too interesting... but I think I do physical examinations a little more carefully after reading this book!

Amazing book. only complaint is that i recieved a battered one.the edges were torn.

I bought this book for my nephew and his girl friend who are both training to be doctors. I read a bit and liked it--easy to read for none medical people. My nephew said "thanks for the book it`s brilliant,I can`t put it down!!"

ちょっとした患者の一言、些細な理学所見によりいかに名探偵が診断を下すのか。見たものを見ることができないとき如何に患者が悲惨な目に遭うか、ハイテク時代の全ての医師に大きな問題を提起している。軽い読み物としてもお勧め。

Lo recomiendo ampliamente, para los médicos es una gran lectura y especialmente para nosotros los clínicos, 5 estrellas yo le doy

Interesting insight to the challenge of diagnosing diseases.

Nice travel along medical diagnosis as experienced by doctors; it shows how much a good doctor needs to have good studies, deep experience, a good dose of empathy and humility.
