Second Opinions Stories of Intuition and Choice in the Changing World of Medicine

"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."Groopman, Jerome is the author of 'Second Opinions Stories of Intuition and Choice in the Changing World of Medicine', published 2001 under ISBN 9780140298628 and ISBN 0140298622.
