Every Patient Tells a Story: Medical Mysteries and the Art of Diagnosis

#798
Title: Every Patient Tells a Story: Medical Mysteries and the Art of Diagnosis
Author: Lisa Sanders
Publisher: Broadway
Year: 2009
304 pages

Audiobook.

Sanders blends exposition with clinical and personal stories to create a satisfying blend in the medical case studies/medical practices genre. I appreciated the vulnerability of the medical practitioners who discussed their diagnostic errors and confusion. A good companion to Gawande's Better: A Surgeon's Notes on Performance.
