"To Do No Harm is a study of the ways people experience serious and life-threatening illnesses, the types of suffering they endure, and how we can come to understand their lives. Alan C. Mermann describes a course at the Yale School of Medicine that uses patients as teachers for students, helping them learn the impact of disease upon the whole person. He covers suffering in body, mind, and spirit. The book also discusses the hopes and means for a fully realized life for the professional healthcare provider through compassionate care of the sick."--Jacket.
