The Best Medicine - Doctors, Patients, and
the Covenant of Caring
By Mike Magee, MD and Michael
D'Antonio
The Best Medicine will take you into
25 very special patient-physician relationships that reflect
what the relationship can be like when it's good. A
pediatrician in New York inspires her own patient, a girl
with sickle-cell anemia, to become a doctor herself. An oncologist
in Chicago lets go of her preconceived ideas about gay life
as she becomes friends with a man who has AIDS. A general
practitioner in Chattanooga uses literature to heal, prescribing
novels and poetry to go with good medicine.
These are just three of the wonderful doctors
who practice the Best Medicine and who, along with their patients,
can be found in these pages. Each of the 25 doctor-patient
relationships portrayed in this book reveals ways we can all
improve our health, our lives, and our communities.
