Review:
"Dr. Groopman...knows how to spin a good yarn. In [this book], he draws telling parables out of the charts of his own patients and family....[I]t's a personal testament to the complexity of clinical diagnosis, told as a chain of gripping case histories....Each of the parables in the book...teaches us something about how medical decisions are made, both wisely and unwisely. Dr. Groopman's portraits aren't black and white; they're finely shaded."

Second Opinions (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780140298628) Groopman, Jerome Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Penguin Books Ltd, United Kingdom, 2001. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reprint. 197 x 133 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. A unique insider's view of today's complex and often contentious world of medicine Anxious about the prognosis, lost in a blur of technical jargon, and fatigued from worry or pain, people who are ill are easily overwhelmed by treatment choices. Told through eight gripping clinical dramas, Second Opinions reveals the forces at play in making critical medical decisions. Dr. Jerome Groopman illuminates the world of medicine where knowledge is imperfect, no therapy is without risks, and no outcome is fully predictable. He portrays moments of astute diagnosis and misguided perception, of lifesaving triumphs and shattering failures. These real-life lessons prepare us to navigate the uncertain terrain of illness, and enable us to balance intuition and information, and thereby make the best possible decisions about our health and future.
