The Wall Street Journal reported that doctors misdiagnose patients 37% of the time, due to errors in history taking and ordering the wrong test. Johns Hopkins Hospital doctors report that the misdiagnosis rate is 40%-80% for patients with chronic pain and headaches, depending on the type of illness. The average doctor spends 11 minutes with a patient, and talks for 7 of the 11 minutes. This book provides the reader with methods to take a more comprehensive and accurate history, using the "www.DiagnoseMyPains.com" website, which gives diagnoses with a 96% correlation with those of Johns Hopkins Hospital doctors. Then, based on an accurate diagnosis, the book explains how to select the proper testing to confirm the diagnosis, and recommended treatments. The book is designed to help the reader understand how to think about a medical problem, not what to think.
