Summary of Lisa Sanders's Every Patient Tells a Story

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The young woman, Maria, had been perfectly healthy until just after last Christmas. She’d come home from college to see her family and friends, and as she prepared to head back to school, she began to feel queasy. She couldn’t eat or drink anything, and the slightest odor made her feel like she was going to vomit.

#2 The only time she felt normal during these attacks was when she was standing in a hot shower. She had no other medical problems, took no medicines, and had never been exposed to any toxins.

#3 The patient’s story is one of the most reliable ways to make a diagnosis. It is often the first clue that doctors look at when making a diagnosis, and it is important information that helps guide the patient’s treatment.

#4 Getting a good history from the patient is important for making an accurate diagnosis. The doctor must understand and accept the patient’s story, which may not match the doctor’s assumptions.
