When you're sick, you go to a doctor to figure out what's wrong. But how doctors work isn't some impenetrable mystery. Rather, there's an art and science that goes into how they diagnose and treat patients.
Kids, for all their youth and vigor, aren’t indestructible. They’re always growing, which makes their health needs different from those of the average adult. Enter pediatricians: trained medical experts whose sole mission is to help children reach their maximum potential. Resoundingly popular with lifelong learners, the Medical School for Everyone series is a powerful stage on which Dr. Benaroch exhibits his remarkable educational skills and his depth of medical knowledge.
With The Great Courses, you don’t have to soldier through medical school to learn how doctors diagnose and treat patients. All you need is Medical School for Everyone: Grand Rounds Cases, in which Dr. Roy Benaroch, a practicing physician and an adjunct assistant professor of pediatrics at the Emory University School of Medicine, guides you through 24 unique Grand Rounds that reveal insights into how doctors do what they do. Whether you’re a patient, a current or future medical professional, or someone just looking to enjoy a good mystery, you’ll discover how doctors: •use medical science to identify and combat conditions, injuries, and diseases; •uncover tiny clues patients can sometimes fail to notice; •sometimes make misdiagnoses that lead to costly (and life-threatening) problems; and •think their way toward putting patients on the fast track to proper treatment.
