Medical Investigation 301 introduces older students to an enlightened view of the educational methodology in medical sciences. The book hits with spartan terseness. Expect surprises. The enormous quantity of information students in healthcare must master commonly leaves them familiar with the details of all the trees. But, less comfortable with the forest. They may grope, bereft of shrewdness, in the bizarre situations real patients present. Perspicacity speaks to this desire for savvy. The author, experienced in both clinical practice and deductive sciences, adds a fresh viewpoint with examples. Adult readers not interested in a medical career can still enjoy these insights into common ideas in medicine that lack logical explanations. How does your nervous system recognize that something injured a part of your body? Why do viruses exist? Why does our body react incorrectly to a heart attack and make the outcome worse? Exploring these questions helps potential students of medical science learn how to look behind the curtain. General readers of this book can acquire a refined comprehension of the labyrinth we call healthcare.
