About this ebook
Healer's Heart is a tribute to the healing power that lies within all of us, physicians and non-physicians alike. Through my experiences while becoming a physician, to the joys and heartaches and even the seemingly ordinary moments with my patients over four decades, my book reminds the reader of the consummate value of caring for one another.
