Dr. Groopman's latest book, Your Medical Mind, is a primer for making medical decisions. This presentation with co-author Dr. Pamela Hartzband) shares the expertise of doctors, psychologists and economists (as well as his own experiences as a physician and a patient) to help sort out the bewildering--and often conflicting--range of information about treatment.
According to Dr. Groopman, a doctor has to think with the patient, not despite or against her or from an assumption of superior knowledge. In this talk based on his bestselling book How Doctors Think (which was called “A sage, humane prescription for medical practitioners and the people who depend of them” by O, The Oprah Magazine), Dr. Groopman unravels the ultimate medical mystery: how doctors figure out the best treatments -- or fail to do so.
He draws on a wealth of research, extensive interviews with some of the country's best physicians, and his own experiences as a doctor and as a patient, and shares lessons learned hard way, from his own mistakes and from errors his doctors made in treating his own debilitating medical problems.
Dr. Groopman reveals a profound new view of twenty-first-century medical practice, giving doctors and patients the vital information they need to make better judgments together. Dr. Groopman can also address topics from his other books The Anatomy of Hope, Second Opinions and The Measure of Our Days.
