A best-selling author and leading cancer researcher, Jerome Groopman worked with noted endocrinologist Pamela Hartzband to deliver this essential guide to making medical decisions. In a sea of dissenting expert opinions, media reports, advice from friends, and drug company advertising, it is almost impossible to make sense of the glut of health-related information. Your Medical Mind cuts through the clutter with straightforward advice that could prove the ultimate life-saver.

      Two outstanding voice professionals share segments of this production. Both Linda Emond and Cotter Smith convey a thoughtful empathy with the patients described in vignettes and a humble respect for the dilemmas inherent in seeking advice from an inexact science like medicine. Cotter and Emond, each with a unique brand of vocal delivery, maximize the listener's openness to this empowering guide. The authors rely mostly on stories to show how patients can learn their own preferences, decision-making styles, and comfort zones when responding to medical advice. Without denigrating physicians or sounding too counterculture, they show patients how to evaluate research from multiple sources and decide for themselves how they feel about the possible outcomes, risks, and side effects of any treatment.
