Advice to the Healer: On the Art of Caring by Richard Colgan Paperback: 197 pages Published 2012 ISBN-10: 1461451698 ISBN-13: 9781461451693
Clinicians - physicians, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, social workers, psychologists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and others - share the unique responsibility of patient care and the limitless fulfillment this calling can provide. The healing professions have an ancient and venerable tradition of service, honor, and humanism that is often communicated from teacher to student in anecdotes and bits of wisdom told quickly in passing. Gathering together this type of valuable information in one place, Advice to the Healer: On the Art of Caring, Second Edition, includes biographies of historical luminaries in medicine, tales from everyday practice, inspirational quotes and artwork, and advice for new and veteran healers alike. "Today, when medical education short-changes basic clinical skills in favor of technology, when many young clinicians seem to view medicine as a trade instead of a calling, and when we see practicing physicians hawking their services on roadside billboards, it is refreshing to read a book that extols medicine's rich history and traditional values."
