A public health leader and primary care physician for underserved patients, Schillinger learned that high-tech tests and novel medications are often not enough to save lives. Rather, accurate diagnosis, treatment and true healing come from listening deeply to patients and their stories. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In \u003ci\u003eTelltale Hearts\u003c\/i\u003e, Schillinger reveals what is lost when patients' stories are ignored or overlooked, and how much is gained when these stories are actively elicited. The stories themselves, at times shocking and always revelatory, disclose secrets, prompt awe, forge unexpected connections, and even catalyze public health action. Each vignette delves into a patient's complicated life, uncovering numerous factors that influence their medical outcomes. Together, these stories provide a narrative roadmap, guiding the reader to a deeper understanding of the societal forces that shape health, disease, and recovery, and advocating for a transformative shift in medical care and public health. \u003ci\u003eTelltale Hearts\u003c\/i\u003e serves as a call to action, urging us to reshape public policy to improve the nation's health. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dean-David Schillinger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1541704207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781541704206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e PublicAffairs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/16\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Dean-David Schillinger","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44890709721343,"sku":"9781541704206","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fa1950d4-94ef-4def-87d0-c25a66c32fa8.jpg?v=1709739803","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/telltale-hearts-dean-david-schillinger-9781541704206","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
