Price: US$24.95

The awareness of these dispositions can help physicians improve themselves and the care they deliver to patients, leading to a true patient-centered collaborative therapeutic alliance. Physician-patient collaboration is, in turn, associated with better patient adherence and outcomes, and care, delivered in a positive context, produces better outcomes.

A Great and Practical Guide

Michael Vlanin provides better approaches in addressing musculoskeletal care. We often see new advances in the field, but Vlanin points out that it's not always in the patient's view. It's sometimes just a general view. The author points out in looking at the patient's sleep patterns, if they're depressed, etc. etc. The graphics were helpful in picturing what doctors should look for in their patients. I know what to say so my doctor can understand me better. It's a great guide and I hope this book furthers conversations about looking at medical advances through the patient's viewpoint.

A Practical Guide

A practical guide for improving how to treat pain. I like that it doesn't have hard terms that are hard to follow, and it is written in a very clear and approachable style. And the best part for me is the way the author talks about how to approach it; he says we must consider the emotional, the psychological and the physical aspect of pain as a whole, because that is the way our body, mind and soul connects with it as well.
The book talks about sleep quality as a thing to take in consideration and also attitudes. I think this book would help a lot of readers and their professionals in health care.
