This evening I read the newsletter from my local library. On October 26th Dr. Lisa Sanders will be coming to the Lucy Robbins Library in Newington to talk about her new book, "Every Patient Tells a Story".
Obviously I'm intrigued and will look to get a copy of the book to see what she has to say about doctors listening to the stories patients tell. She writes a column for the New York Times Magazine and the column was the inspiration for the show House. If you are a fan of the show you will recognize the story principle although Dr. House is gruff and sometimes deceitful in obtaining the story of his patients to help him diagnose.
I hope more doctors listen to their patients and ignore the HMO time constraints. It will definitely lead to better care.
