Over 2000 Posts Kristy Posted April 22, 2002 Over 2000 Posts Report Share Posted April 22, 2002 Dr. Baile is here at M.D. Anderson in Houston. He was featured in one of our weekly Network Newsletter http://www.mdanderson.org/publications/net...m#communication I really liked his point of views on physican/patient communication. I decided to 'look up' Dr. Baile, and I found this wonderful web book that he coauthored. It is geared to the Physician. I was so enthralled, I thought I'd share! http://www.conversationsincare.org/web_book/web_book.htm Web-book Introduction The issues surrounding physician/patient communications are many. Anxiety, fear and embarrassment can all impact the way a patient communicates with his/her doctor, and make it difficult to articulate concerns and participate effectively in their treatment. A physician is no less likely to feel anxiety from trying to meet both the psychosocial as well as the medical needs of a patient, or fear at having to break traumatic news. The Conversations in Care? Web-book will address topics chapter by chapter, with each chapter authored by a leading expert in the field of communications.
