Description
This book originates from the wish to ease the relationship between patients and physicians, helping both worlds unite in thriving for the best potential outcome. Via an excursus about the formation of the human ego-system and the importance of touch during our growth, we will discover how the patient and their relatives can help doctors avoid cognitive errors - our ego being a leading generator of such errors and a bias to our perception of reality.
A link to downloadable checklists is provided in electronic form corresponding to those at the end of the book. The website works on computers and portable devices of all types (Google / Apple / ...), directly online or even off-line after a small download. These are very easy to use checklists intended to help you and your doctor during interview.
A possible solution could already be provided by the aviation industry. Forty years ago, pilots found themselves in a similar situation: the heroic times of pilot idolization were fading away, carrying with them their ego as well. Today, pilots and crew members have learned the power of thanking those who draw attention to an error or mistake, an attitude that the medical field would undoubtedly benefit from.
In this scenario, the patient and their family could represent the physicians' co-pilots, and the operating team should act as the surgeon's co-pilot in the operating theater. Our checklists act as support in order to choose YOUR Doctor and not to omit anything important during the doctor's visit.
The essential premise for this scheme to work, though, is that physicians accept patients and the operation-team as their peers, their equals. Just like aviation implemented Crew Resource Management (CRM) and crew selection procedures to achieve a change of behavior in cockpits, the author will suggest pre-med-schools, specialist selection tools and checklists with questions that the patients and their relatives can use to help physicians think - think and act correctly.
