Diagnosis is a practically-oriented guide to the complex reasoning,
observations, and judgment that health professionals draw on to
make a clinical diagnosis. Built on the cornerstone of the
patient-physician relationship, this volume combines rigorous yet
accessible conceptual analysis with actionable strategies for
navigating uncertainty, making effective use of diagnostic tests,
and understanding the economic, interpersonal, and ethical
considerations influencing diagnosis. Across six chapters, Ashley
Graham Kennedy tackles such thorny issues as overdiagnosis,
underdiagnosis, and new complications from the Covid-19 pandemic,
supplemented by carefully chosen medical case studies. In so doing,
she demonstrates that even "ordinary" cases require a delicate
balance of medical and ethical considerations in order to promote
the patient's physical and mental well-being. Ultimately, this
volume demonstrates that clinical diagnosis is not just about
acquiring knowledge but also facilitating the health of the people
it serves. With clarity and compassion, Diagnosis illuminates the
ethical and philosophical underpinnings of the diagnostic process
for the medical practitioner.
