How Doctors Think: Clinical judgment and the practice of medicine
Montgomery, Kathryn (, Professor of Medical Humanities and Bioethics, and of Medicine, and Director, Medical Humanities and Bioethics Program, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, USA)
Defines the nature and importance of clinical judgement. Although physicians make use of science, this book argues that medicine is not itself a science, but rather an interpretive practice that relies on clinical reasoning. It also contends that there can be adverse side effects to assuming that medicine is strictly science.
