The beginning: diagnosis and selecting your doctor
Abstract
The patient authors with over 48 years of combined real-world experience with chronic myeloid leukemia, and a healthcare professional, use their own personal experiences to describe the factors that may affect the patient–doctor relationship, patient care and outcomes. The authors believe that this podcast series and associated manuscript will aid both patients and healthcare professionals to improve their patient–doctor relationships and communication through diagnosis, treatment decision-making and learning to live with CML (or another disease). In this episode, they discuss the importance of the patient–doctor relationship, the patient authors' own diagnosis experiences and considerations when selecting a health care team.
