Making sure your doctor hears you and your concerns


Cover art for WHEN DOCTORS DON'T LISTEN

The guests on today's Diane Rehm Show are discussing their book "When Doctors Don't Listen: How to Avoid Misdiagnoses and Unnecessary Tests." This is a great resource for counselors as well as anyone with an older family member - really, it's useful for anyone in making sure your treatment with a primary care physician doesn't feel like a rushed, "conveyor belt" sort of treatment.

I reviewed the book for Kirkus Reviews last year; you can read that review at their website.
