What patients say, what doctors hear / by Ofri, Danielle,author.(CARDINAL)672850;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Communication and its discontents -- From both sides now -- It takes two -- Now hear this -- With all good intentions -- What works -- Chief listening officer -- Listen to me -- Just the facts, ma'am -- Do no harm -- What lies beneath -- The language of medicine -- Rushing to judgment -- Can it be taught? -- A fragile truce shatters -- Can we talk?"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. ... 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."--Jacket

The skeptic's guide to health, medicine, and the media [videorecording] / by Benaroch, Roy,teacher.(CARDINAL)481782; Teaching Company,production company.(CARDINAL)349444;
Lecturer: Dr. Roy Benaroch, Emory University School of Medicine.As consumers of medical news, how can we know whether the article we just read is based on solid science or is just an ill-informed attempt to grab readers? Professor Roy Benaroch of Emory University School of Medicine provides just the direction we need in The Skeptic's Guide to Health, Medicine, and the Media. In 24 fascinating lectures that address the most important health issues of our day--heart health, obesity, longevity, the opioid crisis, the stigma of mental illness, alternative medicine approaches, toxins in the environment, and more--Dr. Benaroch shows us how to recognize the good reporting and the bad. With his guidance, you'll create a 'Skeptic's Toolkit,' asking the questions that take you past the headlines and beyond the way health news is typically reported. You'll learn six specific questions to always keep in mind as you read any article in print or online: What's the source of the article? Is the evidence presented strong enough to be valuable? Is someone trying to sell me something? Is this study about people like me, and are the factors they're measuring in the study important to me? Does the report present a viewpoint from scientists not directly involved in the study? And is the story itself sensible, fitting in with what we already know? Armed with these questions, you'll be able to find valuable information to help inform your own health care decisions, without falling prey to snappy-sounding articles that have no basis in solid science.
