Synopsis "The Silent Assassin. How Stealthy Kidney Diseases are Interwoven in the Fabric of our Society."
A wise man once asked 2 blind men to describe an elephant. One touched the trunk and the other handled the tail. Neither of them had encountered an elephant previously. Would you say that they were both accurate when the first man described the elephant as a large python and the second one as a rope?After being a physician for 31 years, Dr. Ahmad has found that many of his colleagues are struggling to bridge the gap between the information available in medical literature and patients and family members' comprehension. He believes medical professionals leave a lot to be desired in terms of navigating the labyrinth of medical literature. Although The Center for Disease Control and the American Society of Nephrology do a stellar job conveying knowledge to kidney disease patients, there is more to be shared. Nine out of ten patients with kidney disease are unaware of their diagnosis. The medical literacy rate for Black Americans is only 2% and only 14% for White Americans. This book is an attempt to bridge the gap between the latest medical knowledge and a layperson's health care literacy, so that patients and family members can feel equipped to make major decisions about their healthcare and wellbeing.
