A "MUST" for any health care professional who CARES!!!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Healer's Calling: A Spirituality for Physicians and Other Health Care Professionals (Paperback)
I found Dan Sulmasy's book "just what the doctor ordered!" He hit the target right on the mark in providing practical spiritual ways to become and sustain ourselves as truly caring physicians and health care providers. Very timely in this age of "managed cost" reimbursement, increasing legal, patient, and life demands on the physician / caregiver. We are currently using Dan's book as a discussion guide for our monthly spiritual support group for physicians who come from every specialty!

Excellent book for health care professionals and lawyers!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Healer's Calling: A Spirituality for Physicians and Other Health Care Professionals (Paperback)
This book was wonderful! A must for medical students, law students and both lawyers/doctors. Puts the reality of the true duty of a "professional" into perspective. Truly a delight. Unquestionably a five star book. Dr. Sulmasy catches the essence of what is missing in the current debate on the role of the health care professional.
