Doctor knows best?
Does the doctor always know best?
Have I mentioned lately how grateful I am to have had my tweepiphany? Now that I have access to the collective wisdom of an entire community advocating patient-centered healthcare, I find myself with a steady stream of valuable tidbits that I can address in blog posts or use to poke at med ed colleagues. Such was the source of this article Power to the Patients by the authors of Innovator's Prescription, Clayton Christensen and Jason Hwang.
"...if more patients realized how much influence they could have in their own care, they would discard their roles as passive health care consumers, and would instead become its agents of change."
If you like the article, you ought to try the book...can't borrow ours though, I'm not finished yet.
