Diagnosis, once the cornerstone of medicine, is fast becoming a lost art, with grave consequences. The traditional diagnostic method, centered on the taking of patient histories, is being replaced by “cookbook medicine,” where patients are understood only in terms of their “chief complaint” and providers rely on decision pathways, that, while designed with good intentions, end up stripping medicine of its efficacy and humanity. As anyone who has recently visited an ER can attest, submitting to the bewildering battery of tests required for various “work-ups” and “rule-outs” is a poor substitute for understanding what’s wrong. In straightforward, engaging language, Dr. Kosowsky gives voice to what a growing number of healthcare providers have come to believe: that the way medicine is taught and practiced is in urgent need of change, and that now is the time to address it. Combining medical narrative with trenchant analysis, Dr. Kosowsky provides concrete steps for patients to usher in a new era that will not only improve individual medical care, but also lead the way to meaningful healthcare reform.
