Passionate Medicine

Five doctors and two veterinary surgeons, all members of the Homeopathic Professionals Teaching Group (HPTC) describe their individual journeys from conventional medicine to homeopathy. One of the threads that connects their experiences is the recognition of the important role that emotions play in health, those of both the patient and physician, as opposed to a detached clinical approach to illness. The relationship between orthodox medicine and alternative therapies is another important issue considered, making this a good read, especially but not exclusively for those in or contemplating a career in medicine.
