While doctors strive to ensure their patients understand their diagnoses, rarely do those outside the medical community understand the words and phrases we hear practitioners yell across a hospital hallway or murmur to a colleague behind office doors. Doctors and nurses use a kind of secret language, comprised of words unlikely to be found in a medical textbook or heard on television. In \u003cem\u003eThe Secret Language of Doctors\u003c\/em\u003e, Dr. Brian Goldman decodes those code words for the average patient. What does it mean when a patient has the symptoms of \"incarceritis\"? What are \"blocking\" and \"turfing\"? And why do you never want to be diagnosed with a \"horrendoma\"? Dr. Goldman reveals the meaning behind the colorful and secret expressions doctors use to describe difficult patients, situations, and medical conditions--including those they don't want you to know. Gain profound insight into what doctors really think about patients in this funny and biting examination of modern medical culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brian Goldman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1629370924\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781629370927\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Triumph Books (IL)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.79h x 6.54w x 0.73d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2015 pg. 10","brand":"Brian Goldman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989413921023,"sku":"9781629370927","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fd8a0dea-a4e3-4b33-bce4-195d42527506.jpg?v=1683299359","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-secret-language-of-doctors-brian-goldman-9781629370927","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
