We need to talk, doctor!

Here's how to achieve effective communication with your doctor: "Genuine attention and trust are often more important than high-tech medicine," says Yael Adler. Unfortunately, this is precisely what is lacking in the doctor-patient relationship. Time pressure, medical jargon, and a lack of empathy often lead to frustration and doubt for us patients, which can have serious consequences for our health in the worst case. In her new audiobook, Yael Adler succinctly illustrates, through numerous case stories, the different types of doctors and patients, how they think, and the roles they play in the doctor-patient relationship. She reveals how genuine communication on equal footing can be achieved and what it takes for doctors and patients to become a good and strong team.
