How doctors think-article in New Yorker

[Guest guest]

We've talked here quite a lot about how to get the most from your doctor.

With 's experience of Mark's doctors delaying investigation of

the possibility of CCA, instead attributing all his symptoms to ESLD,

I thought the following article was particularly relevant now. Dr

Jerome Groopman is a hematologist who writes on medical issues for the

New Yorker, and he has a new book called " How Doctors Think " that

discusses the blindness physicians get when their own predispositions

and experiences get in the way of diagnosis. Its a long article, so

here's the link:
