“My
Grandfather’s Blessings” by Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D., explores the art
of medicine in this book that captures the wisdom she gleaned from her
Jewish grandfather, a scholar of the Kabbalah, who saw life as a web of
connection where our duty is to find ways to bless one another. Remen
found ways to make this work in her practice as a cancer physician and
reveals through her powerful talent of storytelling how potently this
can play out in the lives of patients who have health-care providers
willing to see that web. This is a must read for anyone in the health
care profession or for anyone looking for ways to open the soul to the
powers of healing.|
