By doing this, Groopman highlights several types of common cognitive errors made by physicians. He also presents cases in which difficult diagnoses were arrived at correctly, drawing attention to the important differences between the cognitive processes at play in each case and the resultant outcome. In each chapter, Groopman presents cases in which particular diagnoses were arrived at in error, often by separate, but not always independently thinking, physicians. He approaches this in a case-based manner, by way of analyzing mistakes made in diagnosis and treatment. In How Doctors Think, Groopman analyzes how physicians come to make diagnostic and treatment decisions, and how this process can be improved upon.
