While doctors strive to ensure their patients understand their diagnoses, rarely do those outside the medical community understand the words and phrases we hear practitioners yell across a hospital hallway or murmur to a colleague behind office doors. Doctors and nurses use a kind of secret language, comprised of words unlikely to be found in a medical textbook or heard on television. In \u003ci\u003eThe Secret Language of Doctors\u003c\/i\u003e, Dr. Brian Goldman decodes those code words for the average patient. What does it mean when a patient has the symptoms of \"incarceritis\"? What are \"blocking\" and \"turfing\"? And why do you never want to be diagnosed with a \"horrendoma\"? Dr. Goldman reveals the meaning behind the colorful and secret expressions doctors use to describe difficult patients, situations, and medical conditions--including those they don't want you to know. Gain profound insight into what doctors really think about patients in this funny and biting examination of modern medical culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr. Brian Goldman\u003c\/b\u003e is an emergency physician at Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital and the host of CBC Radio's award-winning program \u003ci\u003eWhite Coat, Black Art\u003c\/i\u003e.
