520 $aOffers an incisive critique of the approach of modern medicine. Drawing on a number of evocative patient narratives, the author writes that the enduring goal of medicine must be the relif of suffering. The understanding of persons and sickness necessary to achieve that goal illuminates the treatment of all. This work will appeal to all physicians and others interested in medicine. Palliative care and hospice workers, psychiatrists, psychologists, and others interested in pain and suffering should find it particular useful.
