“Many specialists tend to see the patient only in terms of his herniated disk, his shoulder impingement, or his carpal tunnel syndrome. There is a woeful trend toward ‘body parts medicine’ that fails to see people as individuals. A patient is simply a collection of body parts to many of today’s specialists. Patients receive a diagnostic label and receive treatment according to an ‘evidence-based model.’ This cookbook approach to treatment may serve the interests of the managed care bureaucracy, but it drives a wedge between patient and doctor. There is very little appreciation of the whole person and no understanding of the mindbody connection. There is little wonder that many people seek alternative treatments for the many different conditions diagnosed by conventional allopathic physicians.”

“The desire to take medicine is perhaps the greatest feature which distinguishes man from the animals.”

“Instant gratification takes too long.”
