Review of 'How doctors think' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

An engaging read. Contained a number of interesting and well thought out example cases, although I think too little time was spent explicitly deriving the general principles of ‘how doctors think’ from those examples; the book quickly moved from one example to the next. It’s not much worse for that, though.
