Medicine, is known for her column and podcast on medical diagnosis.. Sanders is the author of a series of medical stories in the New York Times Magazine called Diagnosis. She shows the reader how real patients
with medical or surgical problems seek help from doctors or go to the ER. She explains how the doctors try to find the diagnosis. Sometimes the cases are hard and some doctors miss important clues or make
mistakes. Then a more expert or specialized doctor comes in and solves the problem. Every patient tells a story: medical mysteries and the art of diagnosis is a book with similar stories. The cases range from
common diseases like pernicious anemia to rare ones like cannabinoid hyperemesis, where chronic pot smokers vomit a lot but feel better with hot showers or baths. Sanders also talks about how to train and
retrain doctors. She wants doctors to use physical exams more and not just rely on lab tests, CT scans, or MRIs. She thinks physical exams are useful and can work well with technical tests. Sanders wants to check
how good doctors are at things like hearing heart sounds or acting like patients. She looks at the research on why doctors make errors and how to prevent them. I work in two different hospitals, one for poor
people and one for academics. I think the mystery of disease and the diagnosis process are not as common as this book makes them seem. Maybe the author wanted to make the stories more like detective stories.
Some stories are kind of cliché: the first doctors can't figure it out, and then (just in time) a smarter or more experienced doctor saves the day. Here is an example.. The case of Powell, a young patient with
pernicious anemia, was puzzling. He had chest pain, severe anemia, and nerve damage that were not diagnosed quickly. Sanders says, "Powell was lucky to avoid lasting damage, but he had to go to the emergency
room four times before they found out what was wrong with him." Anyone with such serious symptoms should have had a blood test in the emergency room. His blood test would have revealed anemia and a high
average cell size.
Then they might have looked at his blood cells under a microscope and seen abnormal white blood cells. It is hard to believe that they did not think of pernicious anemia sooner, given his anemia and nerve
damage.Every patient tells a story has a few mistakes or omissions. For example, Sanders says that the heart sound of mitral stenosis spreads to the left side of the chest, but that is true for mitral insufficiency,
not stenosis, which is very localized. Sanders also does not explain what Münchausen syndrome is and does not mention some key tests for Wilson disease and adult Still's disease. However, this is not a
comprehensive medical book. Sanders is the medical advisor for the TV show House M.D., where the main character, Dr. Gregory House, uses unconventional methods and treatments to solve medical mysteries.
Sanders says, "In the show, Dr. Gregory House does not care about patient history. He often tells his trainees not to trust their patients' stories because 'everybody lies.'" Sanders, on the other hand, believes
patients' stories, as her book title shows.

vision and ideas for improving diagnosis and patient care. Every patient tells a story is well written, and both medical and nonmedical readers will probably like it. Every Patient Tells a Story PDF Free Online Full
