Table of Contents

Introduction:
Tracking
Zebras.............................……………
1: “Doc, I Don’t Feel So Good.”……………………………...
The presentation of patients to
physicians.
Most complaints are common, but every now and then there is a ‘zebra’
lurking in the exam room.
2: Poking and Probing
……………………………………….
The exam. The clues physicians look for.
3: Let’s Run Some Tests…………………………………….
The tests and devices used to peer
inside patients.
4: Is There a Computer in the House?……………………
There is just too much information for
any physician
to know everything and too little time to manually sort through all the
data produced by labs and scanners.
5: The Whiteboard…………………………………………….
Twins of House’s precious Whiteboard are
in
every hospital, full of scribbles listing patient symptoms, likely
causes
and unlikely, but possible, alternatives.
6: Let’s Make You Better……………………………………
Choosing the right treatment to fit the
disease.
Complete cure may be elusive and the options aren’t always ideal.
7: Bedside Manner……………………………………………
House tries to avoid patients, but
understanding the
patient as a whole person, not just a list of symptoms, is central to
complete medical care. House’s reliance on powerful pain killers raises
questions… as does his sense of ethics.
8: No Doctor is an Island……………………………………
Physicians are just one part of teams of
health care
professionals. Hospitals are communities with hierarchies and cultures,
governed by rules and regulations, and monitored by professional groups
and government.
