Description
A healthy young man suddenly loses his memory, making him unable to remember each passing hour. Two patients diagnosed with Lyme disease improve after antibiotic treatment only to have their symptoms mysteriously return. A young woman lies dying in intensive care - bleeding, jaundiced, incoherent and none of her doctors know what is killing her.
Dr Lisa Sanders, whose hugely popular New York Times column inspired the hit TV show House, M.D., takes us to patients' bedsides to witness the process of solving these and other diagnostic dilemmas. As dramatic as House but drawn from the living, breathing world of real hospitals and real patients, Diagnosis provides a first-hand account of the expertise and intuition that lead doctors to make the right decisions
