Patients cry out for a physician who \"cares,\" someone who will take the time to listen to their complaints. \u003cp\u003e In \u003ci\u003eHealing Through Empathy\u003c\/i\u003e, Dr. Francis Adams illustrates the vital importance of the doctor-patient relationship through seven of his patients' histories. In these life stories Dr. Adams describes the role of empathy in this vital relationship and illustrates how a physician's emotional response to his patient's illness may educate him rather than blur his thinking. \u003ci\u003eHealing Through Empathy\u003c\/i\u003e allows the reader to see into the mind of one physician as he seeks the best outcome for his patients' problems. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Dr. Adams offers suggestions for choosing a physician, and challenges physicians and managed care institutions to restore the balance between technology and the art of medicine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/27\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595316267\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.30d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Francis V.
