Nature Of Clinical Medicine - Cassell ,Eric J. (Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2015)
Clinical medicine is concerned with not only what clinicians do but also the reasons they do what they do. When physicians act in medicine they have some purpose or goal in mind. What they actually do and how they go about it is in the service of their purposes and their goals. Such goals are related to the doctor-patient relationship and to the acts of doctoring patients and are involved in being a physician among other physicians working within the institutions of medicine. This book examines clinical medicine and how clinicians - physicians who care for patients - accomplish these tasks
