About this listen

The announcement of a serious diagnosis is a solemn moment when directions shift, priorities change, and life appears in sharper focus. It is also a moment when a story takes shape. It is a story we are able to imagine, even if we haven’t experienced it firsthand, because the moment of diagnosis is as pervasive in popular media as it is in medicine.

Diagnosis: Truths and Tales shares stories told from the perspectives of those who receive diagnoses and those who deliver them. Confronting how we address illness in our personal lives and in popular culture, this compelling book explores narratives of diagnosis while pondering the impact they have on how we experience health and disease.

Providing a clear & thorough exploration of how diagnosis can be better understood, this book opens up the possibility for different interpretations/understandings of the diagnosis experience.

Through examples from real life clinical encounters to analysing film & Media's portrayal of the diagnosis moments, the listener/reader is given a plethora of examples of how to better understand this moment.

In my opinion opening to door to more humane & person centred approaches to practise in both healthcare settings and beyond

a must read/listen for healthcare professionals
