Opis

Please Don't Break My Other Leg! is a guide to improving communication between health care professionals and patients. Valerie Mirvis breathes new life into the teaching of empathic skills by writing in an engaging and moving style and by including genuine case histories, controversial scientific research, imagery, literary quotations and Rikki Marr's specially commissioned illustrations. Based on more than 500 interviews, this book is profound enough to enhance the knowledge of professionals with considerable experience, while at the same time appealing to general members of the public with little or no experience of visiting the sick.
