Get well sooner and cheaper: Two medical insiders pull back the curtain on the doctor-patient relationship

As healthcare spending continues to dominate the U.S. political and economic climate, the threat that spiraling health care costs poses to the nation’s fiscal health is also a threat to how our society handles medical care in general. Two doctors – Joshua Kosowsky and Leana Wen – argue that our society’s way of treating illness is deeply off-kilter, and their book, When Doctor’s Don’t Listen: How to Avoid Misdiagnoses and Unnecessary Tests talk about what is wrong with the doctor-patient relationship today and how it might be fixed.
