Conversations In Care -Web-book for doctors
Conversations In Care Web-book " The issues surrounding physician/patient communications are many. Anxiety, fear and embarrassment can all impact the way a patient communicates with his/her doctor, and make it difficult to articulate concerns and participate effectively in their treatment. A physician is no less likely to feel anxiety from trying to meet both the psychosocial as well as the medical needs of a patient, or fear at having to break traumatic news." Here's a very wise book which teaches physicians how to communicate with their patients. It should be compulsory reading for all medical students, residents and doctors ! Just learning how to operate is not enough - this book teacces the basis of how to develop a better bedside manner.
