The Best Medicine Is You

In his appointments with patients, Dr. Saldmann noticed that illness was like a third person in the doctor-patient relationship. Patients expected him to prescribe medication to rid them of their illness or treat their symptoms, but didn't expect to have to change their behaviour. Medication alone, patients assumed, would do the work of healing.
