Why do medical instructions feel so exact, and yet so many people struggle to follow them once they leave the clinic?

The Logic of Healing reveals what patients are rarely shown: the reasoning behind medical decisions. Written by Dr. Saleem Akram, PharmD, the book bridges the gap between prescriptions and real life, explaining not just what patients are told to do, but why it matters.

This is not a medical manual or a guide to self-treatment. Instead, it explores how clinicians think, how dosing is chosen, why timing matters, how side effects are interpreted, and why small, well-intentioned changes can lead to unexpected outcomes. Through realistic case narratives, it exposes the everyday misunderstandings that quietly shape healthcare decisions.

Readers will learn why feeling better doesn't always mean treatment is complete, why early discomfort doesn't always signal failure, how under-dosing or stopping early can undermine care, and how psychology and habit influence adherence as much as knowledge.

What sets The Logic of Healing apart is its balance. Patients are not blamed, and clinicians are not idealized. Medicine is presented as a partnership, one that works best when understanding replaces assumption.

Clear, accessible, and thoughtful, this book is for patients, caregivers, clinicians, and anyone frustrated by unclear instructions or conflicting advice. At its core, The Logic of Healing is about clarity, because healing doesn't begin with blind compliance.
