The author centres the discussion on the problem of suffering because he believes that its recognition and relief are a test of the adequacy of any system of medicine. The book includes many stories about patients to illustrate that there can be no diagnosis, search for causes, or treatment without consideration of the individual sick person. This demonstrates that it is time for the sick person to be the central focus of medicine and the author looks at the implications of such a change in attitude. This book will make interesting reading for all medical professionals as medical historians and philosophers. 606 $aMedicine$xPhilosophy 606 $aSuffering 606 $aPhysician and patient 615 0$aMedicine$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aSuffering. 615 0$aPhysician and patient. 676 $a610/.1 700 $aCassell$b Eric J.$f1928-2021.$01527001 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783590103321 996 $aThe nature of suffering$93769489 997 $aUNINA
