Publisher's Summary:
In this hour, like a lot of family physicians, Zorba Paster spends his days seeing patients with everything from diabetes to ear infections. Hes also a practicing Buddhist who volunteers his time and medical services in Northern India, with a community of Tibetan exiles. Hes also a personal physician to the Dalai Lama. Paster told Anne Strainchamps how his spiritual life shaped his medical practice.
Next, as a practicing pediatrian with 30 years experience, essayist Susan Ehrlich has plenty of experience dealing with the sick. But shes had less practice standing by when the news is painful, and shes not the doctor, but part of the patients family.
Then, if youre looking for the model of a compassionate doctor, you could start with James Orbinski. As a former member and president of Doctors Without Borders, also known as MSF, hes served in some of the worlds most chaotic places, like Somalia, the refugee camps of Afghanistan and Rwanda, both before and during the genocide. He writes about his experiences in the book An Imperfect Offering. He told Steve Paulson about the moment he realized what he was capable of contributing, as a doctor.
Following that, Danielle Ofri is a practicing physician today. Her most recent book is Medicine in Translation. Shes also an Associate Professor of Medicine at New York University, and Editor-in-Chief of the Bellevue Literary Review. Its a life she owes in part to mentors like Joseph Sitkin, who taught her as a resident. But sometimes happy endings elude both patients and their doctors. In her essay Intensive Care from the book Writer, MD she describes her time as a young doctor and the emotional price that can come with a license to practice medicine.
Finally, Andrew Weil is one of the most influential voices in alternative medicine today. Hes credited with establishing the field of integrative medicine and is the author of several best-selling books. In his latest, Spontaneous Happiness, Weil talks about living a life that promotes happiness and peace of mind. Its a compassionate recipe for personal well being without the pressure to be happy all the time. Weil tells Steve Paulson that he's dubious about the prevelance of medically managed depression.
