Description

Dr Jerome Groopman's Second Opinions offers a unique insight into the complex world of medicine, where knowledge is imperfect and outcomes are never fully predictable. Through eight gripping clinical dramas, he reveals the forces at play in making critical medical decisions.

Groopman portrays moments of astute diagnosis and misguided perception, of lifesaving triumphs and shattering failures, highlighting the need to balance intuition and information when navigating the uncertain terrain of illness. This thought-provoking book prepares us to make the best possible decisions about our health and future.
