Medicine is dependent on documented evidence, but sometimes intuition can play an important role in getting the right diagnosis. Emergency room personnel may share impressions or premonitions that could help with patient care. When should we pay attention to that sixth sense, and when should we dismiss it as a distraction?
We talk with Dr. Larry Dossey, author of The Power of Premonitions: How Knowing the Future Can Shape our Lives.
Guest: Larry Dossey, MD, practiced internal medicine and was Chief of Staff of Medical City Dallas Hospital. He was former Executive Editor of the journal Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine. Dr. Dossey is the author of nine books, including Space, Time and Medicine, Healing Beyond the Body and The Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary Things. His most recent book is The Power of Premonitions: How Knowing the Future Can Shape our Lives.
