Featured in this episode is Thomas Goetz (left), author of The Decision Tree: Taking Control of Your Health in the New Era of Personalized Medicine and executive editor of Wired Magazine. Goetz examines how physicians can encourage patients to take ownership of their own health and understand the very real and personal consequences of their lifestyle choices. In our conversation, Goetz discusses how a “decision tree” can allow patients to be more engaged in their own health care process. The importance of this, he suggests, is immeasurable for the future of the medical profession.
