Your Doctor Said What?: Exposing the Communication Gap Going to a doctor should be a two-way conversation. But many times the doctor doesn’t seem to hear the words from you mouth. Dr. Terrie Wurzbacher discusses opening the lines of communication between doctors and their patients. In some instances the doctor sounds like the teacher in a Charlie Brown cartoon. The patient hears something coming out of his/her mouth but it’s not in terms the patient can understand. Sometimes the patient talks to the doctor but the doctor is too busy to listen or just doesn’t want to. The doctor has a lot of responsibility in health care. But so does the patient. It’s up to the patient to take charge of his/her own care, to be aware of his/her own body and what that body is saying. It is up to the patient to communicate that information to the doctor. The doctor can not read the patient’s mind. If the doctor isn’t listening the patient should either demand the doctor’s attention or seek a different doctor. A patient should write down their history, medications and symptoms before seeing the doctor. I’ve been doing this for several years and my doctor is very appreciative of my active involvement in my own health care. Dr. Terrie Wurzbacher author of “Your Doctor Said What?” is the doctor we all desire. This book is surprisingly honest discussion of health care. Dr. Wurzbacher strives to improve dialogue between patients and their doctors. She stresses the need to educate ourselves and take charge of our own health care. This book is well written and extremely informative. I really enjoyed reading it. I highly recommend this book to everyone for we should all be concerned about our health. |
