Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all - Aristotle
The greatest mistake in the treatment of diseases is that there are physicians for the body and physicians for the soul, although the two cannot be separated - Plato

The practice of medicine is an art, not a trade; a calling, not a business; a calling in which your heart will be exercised equally with your head.
Osler W. Aequanimitas: With other addresses to medical students.
2nd ed. (Philadelphia: Blakiston's Son, 1920) p.386

    Analysis of Better by Atul Gawande

    Atul Gawande sees the medical profession more as a business rather than actual healing. Today doctors get so caught up in mess of how much a particular surgery should cost that many forget about the patient’s care. At the beginning of “Piecework,” Gawande recently finished his residency and is looking to become an independent doctor. However, he was conflicted about how much they should pay him. He never thought or acted upon the annual salary of a new doctor before, because most doctors never boast about their yearly income. However, when he did ask certain doctors the conversation “turned out to be awkward…and they’d [mumble] as if their mouths were full of crackers” (Gawande 113). Gawande states that doctors should not have to respond, because their main goal is to take care and save the patients. The author explains certain things have a definite cost and one must follow those costs no matter how extreme they may be.…

    Porathjune's Argument

    What I believe validates Porathjune’s argument is the different facts that she lays on this article. I agree to the fact that the medical world is also driven by human beings which desire to have a conducive environment. Based on my personal experiences, I concur with the author when she says that the doctor’s treatment is highly dependent on the administrative attitude, a message that illustrates logic. Porathjune’s uses ethos to appeal to the ethics that binds doctors. Indeed, in as much as the medical personnel are qualified to treat ailments, their productivity also depends on the management. Civilization does not; therefore discriminate the career because it touches on personality and emotions. The use of pathos in this article comes out…

    What's The Trouble, By Jerome Groopman

    If we seem doubtful of the assumption that one is morally upright simply because he or she has a career in medicine, we are struck with a seemingly viable counterargument: all doctors must take the Hippocratic Oath in which they “solemnly” swear to “uphold a number of professional ethical standards” (www.nlm.nih.gov). If we still remain unconvinced as to the universal rectitude of all clinicians, we are belittled and then told that doctors do have our best intentions in mind, as they spent years and countless amounts of money thoroughly studying every aspect of the human body. For why would anyone spend 12 years and half a million dollars for any other reason than to carefully heal and nurture the body of his fellow man? Most of the time, our reliance on “authority heuristics” is rewarded as it is noted that the “majority of physicians” take the words of Hippocrates to heart and refrain from “abus[ing] their patients” (Pesta 4).…

    How Doctors Think free response

    From simple mistakes to complex outcomes is what the practice of a Doctor consists of. The occurrence of this has massively increased throughout the years from veteran doctors to fresh out of college doctors, due to conformity with one’s duties. This book describes copious situations in which the Doctor incorrectly diagnosed their patient due to lack of concentration or compliance with their career. Dr. Groopman also lists and discusses ways in which careless errors may be prevented. (88 words)…

    Why Is Physician Assisted Suicide Wrong

    Doctors make mistakes in a patient’s medical care. Doctors are not perfect because they’re human and, as a result, they misdiagnose patients. For example, a woman was diagnosed with cancer, then she decided to take a lethal dose of painkillers which led to her death. However, during her autopsy the medical examiner found she never had cancer (St. Clair). In a study by John Hopkins Medicine more than 250,000 Americans die each year due to medical errors (Allen and Pierce). Doctors make mistakes all the time and this results in patients dying without being diagnosed with a terminally ill illness.…

    Uses And Impacts Of The Organon: Founded By Samuel Hahnemann

    As we know, the Organon was founded by Samuel Hahnemann. The first and second aphorisms speak of how modern medicine does not cure nor really treat chronic disease. The treatment is systematic. There are many side effects involved with modern medicine. The cost of this medicine is also very high. This leads to more expenses due to more medicine needed to help correct the side effects caused by the initial medicine. Using modern medicine leaves both the patient and the practitioner dissatisfied.…
