The Doctors' Tricks

About this book

"Behind the white coat.. where cunning meets healing." Have you ever wondered, sitting on that leather seat in the doctor's office, why he chose this color to paint his walls? Or why he placed the examination bed in that particular corner? In those moments when you think you are merely a patient explaining his pain, the doctor on the other side is weaving the threads of an invisible journey, one depending not only on what he learned in medical books, but on "tricks" cleverly designed to push you toward trust and confessing what you hide even from yourself. This book is no mere medical guide, but a journey into the sage's mind; revealing how the "sliced lemon" turns from mere imagination into a tangible bodily reaction, and how the doctor's deliberate silence can be more eloquent than a thousand questions. You will discover that medicine is no mere stethoscope and medicine, but the art of "suggestion" preceding persuasion, and a body language telling what tongues do not utter. Between this work's covers, Dr. Amr Aboul-Hassan lifts the curtain on the secrets generations are trained in.
