Physicians diagnose and treat a host of conditions. Everyone who understands the nature of health care will be better able to participate in their own and their family's care.

The Nature of Clinical Care explains the concepts underlying medical care. It provides everybody, including students, professionals and patients, with the know-how to participate in their own care. Approachable, straightforward, and insightful, it fills a crucial gap by addressing the patient-doctor relationship, how people make diagnoses, the purposes, benefits and risks of interventions, and the art and science of Medicine.

It is a vast collection of helpful resources. As such, this compendium augments our knowledge base enabling and empowering everyone who must interact with the care system and its professionals.
