The term “doctor shopping” has traditionally referred to a patient obtaining controlled substances from multiple health care practitioners without the prescribers’ knowledge of the other prescriptions.. Spoken language is the most important diagnostic and therapeutic tool in medicine, and, according to Dr. Cassell, we must be as precise with it as a surgeon with a scalpel. In these two volumes, he analyzes doctor-patient communication and shows how doctors can use language for the maximum benefit of their patients. Throughout, Dr. Cassell stresses that patients are complex, changing, psychological, social and physical beings whose illnesses are well represented by their own communication. He proposes that both listening and speaking are arts that can be learned best when they are based on the way that spoken language functions in medicine. Accordingly, Volume I focuses on the workings of spoken language in the clinical setting. It analyzes such important aspects of speech as paralanguage (non-word phenomenon like pause, pitch, and speech rate), how patients describe themselves and their illnesses, the logic of conversation, and the levels of meanings of words.Volume II is a practical, detailed, how to guide that demonstrates the process of history taking and how the doctor can learn the most from the information that the patient has to offer. His arguments are amply illustrated in both volumes by transcripts of real interactions between patients and their doctors. This oft-quoted all-time favorite of the medical community will gladden--and strengthen--the hearts of patients, doctors, and anyone entering medical study, internship, or practice. With unassailable logic and rapier wit, the sage Dr. Oscar London muses on the challenges and joys of doctoring, and imparts timeless truths, reality checks, and poignant insights gleaned from 30 years of general practice--while never taking himself (or his profession) too seriously.The classic book on the art and humor of practicing medicine, celebrating its 20th anniversary in a new gift edition with updates throughout.

Approximately 17,000 students graduate from med school each spring in North America. The story of two doctors, a father and son, who practiced in very different times and the evolution of the ethics that profoundly influence health care   Medicine has undergone drastic changes over the decades—from a highly patriarchal system where doctor knew best and made decisions accordingly to today\'s more patient-centered system, where well-informed patients often take the lead. Dr. Phillip Lerner, the author\'s father, practiced at a time when doctors commanded unparalleled respect, making most decisions for their patients, even about life and death. When Barron read in his father’s journals how he’d once thrown himself over the body of a dying patient to prevent his colleagues from resuscitating her, the younger Lerner was shocked. Used to patients who are informed, involved, and even activists, the son saw his father’s action as that of a doctor “playing God,” with the kind of paternalism that has no place in the new reality of medicine. Later, as a seasoned doctor, Barron Lerner came to understand the constantly shifting nature of ethics in medicine. Through his father\'s stories, his own recollections, and his professional expertise, Dr. Lerner investigates the ethical shifts that have shaken the medical profession over the past four decades. The Good Doctor is the story of one American family and its intersection with the transformation of the practice of medicine for doctors and their patients.From the Hardcover edition. Part of suffering from an illness is the fear of not knowing what might happen. One needs information about the illness, about treatments, and about the outcome. Patients appreciate when their autonomy is respected and they are given options to choose from. But for them to find the right choice is often like looking in the dark, to find a path they never took before. No one is in a better position than the doctor to shed light on the paths and to guide them for the best choice to make. This book describes what a patient needs to know and what the doctor needs to communicate to enable the patient to make choices that are rational, based on medical standards, and can best lead to recovery. Such communication takes time, can be arduous, yet it is a doctor\'s duty and is essential for a harmonious doctor-patient relationship. Becoming a Good Doctor focuses on medical ethics in basic sense: the character traits and styles of practice we look for when we seek a doctor\'s help. This book will appeal to doctors and medical students for its sound application of the venerable tradition of virtue ethics to modern medical practice. We ask so much of our doctors. To heal. To trust. To care. To listen.To tell a man he might be dead tomorrow. To help a man who doesn\'t want to live. To look into a parent\'s panicked eyes as their tiny daughter fights for every breath.To watch a 103-year-old woman slip away from a life well-lived. Doctors know our deepest secrets, our private worries and our most vulnerable moments. But they listen to all of us, and under their gaze we are all equally worthy of help.34 Patients is the breathtaking and uplifting memoir of a doctor who dares to look closer at a crowded waiting room, and value each soul and story he encounters. Through stories of the patients he has helped and lost, and those who have changed him for ever, Dr Tom Templeton weaves a profound and moving portrait of humanity, asking us to treat all with compassion.
