Overview

"What is the missing link in today's medical care delivery? Medical school training has historically relied on the biological sciences, and their application, for diagnosis and treatment, with technology an adjunct to care. Although many major medical schools now incorporate ""doctoring"" into their curriculum, traditional medical training lacked an emphasis on the psycho-social aspects of the doctor-patient relationship. As medicine hurtles forward in the age of technology and corporate healthcare, the chasm between medicine and human connection continues to grow. Doctors are led away from the bedside into a computerized world. This distancing threatens the essence of compassionate care. In a mesmerizing exploration of the solution, Jay H. Kleiman, M.D., recounts the profound career moments that define the doctor-patient partnership, illuminating the path toward preventing physician burnout. Art of the Heart is a masterpiece that uses patient stories to showcase an accomplished career and remind us that high-touch care remains an irreplaceable cornerstone for a therapeutic relationship and healing. Step into the world of medicine's beating heart and rediscover the spiritual connection that elevates doctors into healers called to serve."
