"The great revelation of this book--which looks at the ways doctors and patients communicate with each other, and how both sides of the interaction can be improved--is that doctors are as frustrated with doctors as the general public is. Barbara Korsch talks about being belittled and patronized in interactions with her doctor--and he knew she was a fellow physician! This guide, based on Korsch's 50 years of research into doctor-patient dialogue, takes you, the patient, through each step of your interactions with physicians. It illustrates how to start on the proper note and continue until you get the information and treatment you need. The Intelligent Patient's Guide to the Doctor-Patient Relationship is an interesting book for anyone, and a valuable book for people whose physical conditions cause them to spend a lot of time with doctors."
