I don't know why I'm in the hospital!

Continuing to tweak my thoughts about doctor-patient diagnostic discordance (i.e. doctor says: she's in the hospital for X; patient says: my doctor told me I'm in the hospital for Y), this time for the International Conference on Communication in Healthcare to be held Oct 4-7 in Miami Beach. I will be heading to the sukkah, not to the surf (I'm arriving 10/5 if anyone wants to look me up), but I am looking forward to it nonetheless.

I'm also working on an application for an AHRQ grant on the same topic so I can reproduce my Bellevue pilot study at the Johns Hopkins Hospital.
