All healthcare providers have the sacred responsibility to care for and nourish life in all it manifestations. In these ten short chapters the principles of medical ethics are illustrated through discussions on the nature of illness, the role of the doctor/practitioner in the healing process, the importance of the clinical encounter in the interview and delivering the diagnosis and prognosis, and the value of touch and prayer in healthcare. Bind Each Other's Wounds is a poetic reflection on the holiness of human life and how it can be respected and safeguarded through the spiritual practice of clinical medicine.
