In The Patient Will See You Now, Eric Topol, one of the nation’s top physicians, examines what he calls medicine’s Gutenberg moment.” Much as the printing press liberated knowledge from the control of an elite class, new technology—from the smartphone to machine learning—is poised to democratize medicine.In this new era, patients will control their data and be emancipated from a paternalistic medical regime in which the doctor knows best.” Mobile phones, apps, and attachments will literally put the lab and the ICU in our pockets. Computers will replace physicians for many diagnostic tasks, and enormous data sets will give us new means to attack conditions that have long been incurable. In spite of these benefits, the path forward will be complicated: some in the medical establishment will resist these changes, and digitized medicine will raise serious issues surrounding privacy. Nevertheless, the result—better, cheaper, and more humane health care for all—will be worth it. The Patient Will See You Now is essential reading for anyone who thinks they deserve better health care. That is, for all of us. The state of health care in this country is routinely discussed in the media, at the office, and around the kitchen table. Yet as consumers of medical care, Americans often blindly accept medical advice that may or may not be relevant or even appropriate.Doctor, Your Patient Will See You Now is meant to turn on its head the old notion that medical care is dictated by the doctors who offer advice. Today, it\'s all about the patients who receive it. Bias, financial incentives, and preventable medicalerror are common to the point of inevitability and have proven resistant to reform. Patients increasingly and correctly feel that they are on their own in a large, bewildering, impersonal, and dangerous medical system. Offering an insider\'s perspective,Dr. Kussin provides the tools readers need to make informed decisions about their care, as well as the confidence to question their doctor\'s advice, seek out additional information, and discern the best path for their care. With this book, readers learnhow to maintain a professional approach that, rather than straining the doctor-patient relationship, makes it stronger and more cooperative.
