Did Your Doctor Pass Communications 101?, reveals why your doctor’s ability to communicate information to you—so that you understand—is at least as important as his/her skills at diagnosis, medical instrumentation, or knowledge of the newest medical discovery. It’s central to your health because miscommunication of medical information is one of the most common causes of death in the U.S.
A “good doctor” communicates with the skills disclosed in this book. And effective communication includes more than just words body language, respect for the patient, attentive listening, and offering patients clear written communication are just a few more of the required qualities.
Did Your Doctor… informs you what good and bad doctor-patient communication looks and sounds like. It also offers simple, non-intimidating, strategies you can use to immediately improve your communication with your doctor. And yes, these strategies are applicable to you, even if you’re shy or reserved.
You’ve seen other books that inform you about what questions to ask when you visit your doctor or how to be an assertive patient. Those are great “concept” books, but what you need in order to take action is the ability to identify faulty communication when it occurs. And then, have a reservoir of strategies for gaining understanding without being aggressive or causing any embarrassment.
Did Your Doctor… will also explain why two common questions that doctors ask, “Did you understand? or “Do you have any questions?” should almost never be used during an office visit.Be ready to understand and be understood when you go to the doctor. This book will give you many of the tools you need.
Did You Doctor Pass Communications 101? How Miscommunication Endangers Your Life edition by Gordon Heinrichs Health Fitness Dieting eBooks
I recently finished reading Dr. Heinrich's book before visiting a surgeon for an appointment where we were going to be discussing surgery options. The things I learned from the book made it one of the most successful doctor's appointments I have ever had. I actually took some key notes from the book into the appointment with me so I wouldn't forget to ask basic, yet specific questions, like:1) What is my main problem?
2) What do I need to do?
3) Why is it important for me to do this?
Highlighting three additional things I learned from the book:
1) Dr. Heinrich's coaching in the book about being mentally and emotionally present during your doctor's appointment was very helpful. Our health - and sometimes our very lives - are on the line, so even if we are tired, we need to work hard to be present when speaking with our doctors.
2) Rephrasing what the doctor is saying and asking them, "Dr., what I understood you to say was..." or "Dr., if I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying..."
3) At the end of the appointment, ask how you can get in contact with your doctor (via E-mail or phone) if you have follow up questions afterwards. Some doctors have someone who will screen their communication, but at least there is a way after the appointment to give the doctor additional information on symptoms/etc. or ask questions that come to mind later. This also helps the doctor expect follow up communication from their patient, if needed.
Dr. Heinrich's is a great writer and I appreciate his ability to help both doctors and patients communicate effectively.
