On May 24th, 2024, the Florida Spine Institute and Wellness Center, Leaders in the Treatment of Spine and Musculoskeletal Disorders, announced the publication of, Best Selling Author, Dr. Francisco M. Torres, M.D.’s new book, “Beyond Diagnosis: Perspective in Medicine and The Human Experience.”
The book is a collection of dozens of his essays about the human experience of practicing medicine. It covers various topics, including delivering terminal diagnoses and treating transgender patients with respect, shedding light on the humanity of the doctor and the doctor-patient relationship.
CLEARWATER, FL / ACCESSWIRE / May 24, 2024 / “Beyond Diagnosis” contains essays previously published by KevinMD and Doximity OpMed, new introductions, and a foreword from regenerative medicine pioneer Dr. Felix Linetsky. Dr. Linetsky’s foreword adds value to the book as he describes why he has maintained the same approach to patient care that he first developed in the Soviet Union, where doctors were paid the same salaries as factory workers.
Dr. Torres bridges the past and future as he discusses the strengths and weaknesses he sees in today’s medical graduates, his hopes for how AI could restore the doctor-patient relationship and recounts harrowing tales from the early days of telemedicine. His insights may prove invaluable for doctors, medical students, and patients alike as Dr. Torres walks the reader through treating convicted murderers, diagnosing terminal cancers in his colleagues, and pondering what is most important in life for those in the medical profession.
This is the kind of life experience a medical student is unlikely to encounter in the classroom, as Dr. Torres speaks about what he wishes the medical school had prepared him for. “Beyond Diagnosis” attempts to close that gap, sharing three decades of professional and life lessons with the next generation.
