Synopsis
This inspiring book teaches readers that unconditional love is the greatest tool in healing and maintaining good health. As a practicing surgeon, Bernie S. Siegel, M.D., was an early proponent of patient empowerment, advocating changes in the medical establishment that put greater involvement and decision-making powers in the patient's hands. This, he felt, would awaken people to their own self-healing potential. According to Dr. Siegel, miracles happen every day for patients with the courage to face their illnesses with love and a positive outlook. He hopes to wean the public off its dependence on doctors as miracle workers, and to encourage the patient to take on that responsibility. He teaches readers how to deal with their fears of chronic illness, learn to ask for help, respect anger, and confront negative personal images that interfere with healing. Written in an uplifting conversational tone, LOVE, MEDICINE AND MIRACLES creates an immediate bond not unlike doctor-patient relationships and establishes the trust required to embrace such a radical shift in mindset. Dr. Siegel has great respect for modern medicine, but in LOVE, MEDICINE AND MIRACLES he successfully argues that we do ourselves a disservice when we neglect the spiritual component of healing.
