This books explains in detail the kinds of cognitive errors doctors can and do make, some of which are part of medical training trends nowadays. It provides patients and their families with the questions that will enable them to prevent or reverse these errors in judgment and patterns of thinking when they communicate with their doctors. The text de-mythologizes the undeniably important technological advances in medicine and shows why some of them create often as many problems as they solve. The book is written by a doctor whose honesty is refreshing, and it could save your life some day. This is especially true if you or a family member is very ill, since doctors tend to be unaware of their own prejudices and dislikes–and as studies have shown, doctors very often dislike the very ill! I recommend this book unreservedly.
