About Diagnosketch: A Visual Guide To Medical Diagnosis
Product Description Diagnosketch is a one-of-a-kind visual book that helps explain medical diagnoses to a non-medical audience. It simplifies human anatomy and pathophysiology into memorable, patient-friendly, understandable images. It intentionally leaves out details that are not clinically relevant and over-emphasizes ones that are. Created and illustrated by an ER physician with 20 years of clinical experience, Diagnosketch covers bread and butter diagnoses seen in acute care settings: kidney stones, diverticulitis, back pain, gallstones, ovarian cysts, arthritis, and more. It contains diagnostic images, procedural images, and concept images that are useful at different stages of a patient encounter. Medical professionals use this guide, at the bedside, to better communicate with patients in various acute care settings, like Emergency Rooms and Urgent Care Clinics. Review "I use Diagnosketch on every shift, every day. We find this the single most useful and efficient tool at the bedside to help patients understand what is happening to their bodies." -- Raymond Biersbach, MD, ER physician for 10+ years "As a nurse who spends a fair amount of time educating patients and their families, this book is a brilliant idea! It allows me the opportunity to impact patients' understanding of their disease, and is an excellent resource in triage." -- Elizabeth Gibb, BSN, RN, ER Nurse for 41 years "This book is equally as useful to patients as it is to doctors. The illustrations cover the most common diagnoses in the ED and reflect the diversity of patients we see every day. Everyone will find themselves represented here." -- Thea James, MD, ER Physician; Vice President, Mission; Associate Chief Medical Officer, Boston Medical Center "I love this book, there are so many great visuals for the bread and butter of what we see and explain all of the time. What a great resource!" -- Katrina Barnett, MD, ER physician for 15+ years "Not only does Diagnosketch help patients understand their anatomy, it also gives physicians, nurses, PAs, and others the opportunity to maximize the use of the very small amount of time they have with their patients. With this book at the bedside, we can be more efficient and patients leave with a better understanding of their ED visit." -- Andrew Ulrich, MD, Professor of Emergency Medicine, Vice-Chair of Operations, Yale School of Medicine "Physicians are expected to provide excellent medical care, but it is equally important for them to explain diagnoses and treatments in a manner that gives the non-medical both understanding and reassurance. Diagnosketch uses simple illustrations and text to bridge the communication gap between physician and patient so that even complex issues can be comprehended at the bedside. This will prove to be an essential tool for every emergency department." -- Edwin Leap, MD, ER Physician for 30 years "This book is an extremely helpful tool for real-time patient education, there is really nothing available that is comparable to Diagnosketch. It is the best resource for concise and easy-to-understand explanations for patients of their diagnoses, while still maintaining medical accuracy and an appropriate level of detail. It helps me get through to my patients and makes bedside education much smoother and more meaningful." -- Celia Pagano, PA-C in Emergency Medicine for 6+ years "I could really have used these illustrations to explain to my patient with an ovarian cyst what was going on! She was in the hospital with her dad and the doctor here was a man. I had to give the poor girl a crash course in A&P, menstruation, and explain what was going on without scaring her to death. My artwork is subpar at best, I really wish I had this book!" -- Kim Belton, ER Nurse for 11+ years "I use Diagnosketch not only with my patients at work but also to explain my job to my children at home. It's a fantastic teaching tool!" -- Jaclyn Davis, MD, ER Physician for 10+ years; Medical Staff Pre
