About this book
The traditional doctor-patient relationship is in jeopardy. In an era of "hurry up" medicine and "patient quotas," health care professionals are no longer able to apply good bedside manner—the healing touch. As the focus shifts from patients to profits, this vital component of patient care diminishes and may eventually be lost. In
The Healing Touch, David Cram, M.D., a master clinician, teaches the art of good bedside manner and offers a valuable resource for health care professionals striving to preserve the doctor-patient relationship.
