But we made what could've been a fatal error. I think it's critical for all of us to know that doctors are human, they have they're limits, they're fallible. I certainly have made mistakes and I confess, I even write about them in the book. So you're saying it pays to be stubborn in these cases. What's interesting about this book is you manage to meld medical detail with pretty good storytelling if I might pay you that compliment.
Most doctors have trouble expressing themselves verbally, let alone on paper.
I just more or less taught myself. The original writing I did was pretty bad. And she said just write simple, declarative sentences and don't use a lot of jargon. And that's pretty much what I've tried to do. I guess I wonder how you do that, because to make any kind of medical explanation understandable to the layperson is more than a notion.
