“Regardless of the origins of a patient’s disease - body, mind, spirit or relationships – all are affected. Addressing all of the affected aspects promotes healing, even if cure is impossible. My role as a physician is to facilitate patients’ (and their families’) movement out of feeling sick towards fully living, at whatever stage they are in their lives.”
