Primero abordo el diagnóstico hablando con el paciente y escuchando lo que ha sentido, porque esa es la mejor herramienta de diagnóstico que tengo a mi disposición: una buena historia. Mientras más implicados estén los pacientes en su propio cuidado, cuanto más participen en la comprensión de la condición de su enfermedad y de sus síntomas, mejor será su resultado. Lo mejor de mi especialidad es poder preguntarles a los pacientes después de un tratamiento si se sienten mejor. Y cuando dicen que sí, que ahora pueden caminar por la habitación, que pueden respirar de nuevo, que pueden respirar más profundamente, eso es lo que me impulsa a seguir adelante.
