In this text, experienced surgeons "think aloud" about specific surgical cases, and a cognitive psychologist examines their thought processes. The decision-making process is broken down into basic elements and analyzed to provide an insight into how medical experts arrive at major decisions. The book includes chapters on the following: how experts handle the infinite variety of patients; diseases with no immediately available diagnostic category; visual thinking - with puzzlegrams and other tests; and short and long case presentations.
