Medical Investigation 301: Perspicacity

Summary

Medical Investigation 301 introduces adult readers 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 cunning or shrewdness, in the bizarre situations actual patients present. Perspicacity speaks to this desire for savvy. The author/narrator, experienced in clinical practice and deductive sciences, adds a fresh viewpoint with examples. Adult readers not interested in a medical career will still enjoy these insights into medical concepts that seem to lack logical explanations. This understanding can enhance their ability to deal with their own healthcare needs. 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 worsen the outcome? Exploring these questions helps everyone peek behind the curtain. General readers of this book will acquire a refined comprehension of the labyrinth we call healthcare.
