A quick glance over this week's latest offerings from various journals:
JAMA:
Does this patient have dementia?
Annals:
Different ways to describe the benefits of risk-reducing treatments
Straight talk about disease prevention
When my father died
The way and extend to which your patient can be influenced by how the doctor "frame" an issue is not exactly ground breaking research. What intrigue me the most is how Dr Van Spall blames herself for not doing enough for her father. Her conviction that, if his surgery was expedited, the outcome would necessarily be better is simpliy beyond me.
