Internal Medicine: A Second Casebook​


​This book is a collection of stories, often suggested by a patient encounter.  Patients are our best teachers.  Each story aims to educate, entertain and inspire.   You might be faced with issues like these:

• Do patients understand enough about their body, in health and in disease?
• Should we all have our own Health Passport to allow us to best access the health landscape?
• Clinical skills add to patient evaluation: what are we losing with telemedicine?
• Laughter is the best medicine: how do we incorporate it into our work?
• We are human: we have to learn to park our prejudice, and see through patient eyes.
• Where would we be without vaccines, anesthesia, and drugs?  A retrospective is a telling tale.
• We are good at extending the quantity our life, but what about the quality? 
• Do hospitals (and doctors) learn from mistakes?  Does the system learn?
• Is dis-information the new illness of our time?  Are we teaching critical analysis?
• Listen to your workplace colleagues: they may have seen what you have missed.
• Communication is key: data the lock: quality improvement the door – am I right?

If these questions interest you, maybe they will stimulate discussion.  Patients (including you, me, friends and family) often have valuable insights into wellness: let’s work towards best care.
