Summary of Ken Berry's Lies My Doctor Told Me Second Edition

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

#1 Doctors are not superhuman. They are human beings who went through a very demanding and tricky path to become doctors. Some are there only for the money and prestige, but most are there because they want to be important in their patients’ lives and help lots of people.

#2 The day-to-day life of a doctor was a mystery to us, but we still wanted to live it. Many doctors, when they finish this journey, are disheartened and disenchanted with the realities of their new careers. They regret their decision and the years they spent (wasted) making it their reality.

#3 You must take charge of your health care, and if you do, you could avoid years of suffering and disease. You can convert your doctor back into a curious, eager learner who is willing to work with you by asking him questions and cajoling him into doing more.

#4 The most powerful and most deceptive medical lie is that your doctor knows everything there is to know about your health or medicine in general. Your doctor is only as good as the knowledge he possesses and the effort he puts into staying current by looking for further knowledge and updates.
