Cover:
How can a physician "read" the elements that underpin his or her clinical judgement? The elements might seem as intangible as the puffs of a smoke signal. In this issue, Donald Redelmeier and colleagues introduce a new series of articles to help physicians understand themselves, their patients and their environment (page 358). |
