The Secret of Good Patient Care: Thoughts on Medicine in the 21st Century
The Secret of Excellent Patient Care: Thoughts on Medicine in the 21st Century Books
Product Description
One of the few involved physicians to be elected to the National Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Medicine and one of a rare breed of doctors who writes with clarity and ease, Dr. Felch describes his 40-year experience in the mainstream of medical care. Both as a primary care physician making house calls and as a chief in medical professional organizations, Felch reflects on everyday matters of patient care, pointing out that they are really complex, multifaceted, and unique. He points out that today’s patients frequently give high marks to their physicians for competence and proficiency, but low marks for compassion and caring. He says our scientific enterprise is exceedingly excellent at generating new technology, very excellent at carrying out basic laboratory research, quite excellent at mounting large clinical studies of new pharmaceuticals, but only honest at converting collective data about disease into clear-cut strategies for doctors to use with their individual patients. Readers of this book, including potential doctors, will come away with a clearer understanding of the specific activities of medical school, residency training, and patient care as a practitioner, including the problems encountered and the values received.
