Each patient has his own story. Lisa Sanders

Lisa Sanders, a doctor, Columonist The New York Times Magazine, the author of the Netflix series “Diagnosis” series and a consultant to the creators of the series “Doctor House”, talks about the most difficult in the work of any doctor - about making a correct diagnosis.

A completely healthy young man suddenly loses his memory - he cannot keep in his head even what happened only an hour ago. Two patients with Lyme disease are recovering after treatment with antibiotics, but all the symptoms are mysteriously returned. A young woman dies - a bleeding, confused consciousness, yellowed skin - and none of the doctors knows what is with her. The author and the doctor describe what is happening in the minds and souls of colleagues who are trying to resolve a new professional puzzle - and save another life.

Humanity has never had so much knowledge, methods, means to identify the disease. Nevertheless, errors happen: doctors make incorrect diagnoses, lose the sight of symptoms, incorrectly interpret the results of the tests. Lisa Sanders is sure: in the world of high technologies of knowledge and evidence is not enough to treat people. It proves that intuition, ingenuity and real courage are also necessary that important are not only indications of devices, but also the personal story of each patient.
