Lisa Sanders, MD is a Yale-educated doctor who came to her profession after having first been a journalist. She has been a medical columnist for the New York Times Magazine and also was an advisor to the TV doctors series House.
She sees a need for doctors and medical students to be better trained in listening to patients and in performing exams, as well as in working to get diagnoses right. She gives readers an inside look into medical school and in the doctor's exam room. Sanders is not afraid to share her own experiences in medical school and beyond, including some misdiagnoses. Being privy to the backgrounds of several patients whose health issues were slow to be addressed correctly is eye-opening.
