Diagnosis, once the cornerstone of medicine, is fast becoming a lost art, with grave consequences, argues Dr. Leana Wen.
She talks about the doctor-patient relationship, uses real-life stories
of diagnoses-gone-bad, and explains how active patient participation

offers follow-up questions patients can incorporate into every doctor’s
visit to get better care and to avoid counterproductive and potentially
harmful tests.
