Reseña del libro "Doctor-Patient Communication Skills: The Keys to Unlocking (en Inglés)"
With the use of common, practical real-life analogies, the author is able to use clinical vignettes to breakdown often complex medical issues into concepts that are easy for patients/families to understand. Dr. Bush is an interventional/clinical cardiologist that has practiced at The Cleveland Clinic (Weston) since 1990. His practice consists of performing invasive/interventional procedures, clinical cardiology, and in mentoring the next generation of cardiologists. He currently has a "5 star" rating with every major internet healthcare grading service, and previous accolades have included: Clinician of the Year, Award for Excellence in Doctor Communication, Master Clinician Award, and listed in Castle Connolly Top Doctors for the past 25+ years. This book is written for health care providers, with a major focus on medical students, residents, fellows, and early career physicians. With little emphasis on doctor-patient communication skills during formal training, these essential skills have to be developed on the job. Although many of the clinical examples relate to cardiology patients, the thought process can be applied not only to other areas in medicine, but to other professions as well. The author was motivated by the feedback received over the years from the countless trainees that he has mentored, but more importantly, by the many patients whose life he has impacted. The reader will find this information not only enjoyable, but will leave with a rejuvenated passion towards patient care. Success in this area will translate into improved patient compliance, improved physician satisfaction, reduced liability, and most importantly, improved patient outcomes.
