Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Beloved Physician: A Sermon in West Church After the Decease of Dr. Calvin Ellis Note here a twofold sense of love, not for the individual alone for his personal qualities, but for that medical profession whose members more perhaps than those of any other calling come in contact with human nature on its affectionate side. Much of his case may by the client be hidden from the lawyer, or of his conscience by the parishioner from his pastor, but not of the bodily frame by the patient from his doctor; and this necessary confidence begets the rarest intimacy and warmest friendship. The trust in the practitioner may not be immediate, but is soon found to be inevitable, and in serious, chronic, obscure, and threatening disorder will perforce be complete. The constitution, the heredity, the habit, all behavior that bears on health must be told, on penalty of not having the cause of disease understood, the effect treated, symptoms traced, and cure soundly made. The lady was angry when the shrewd practitioner inquired the amount of opium she daily used; and he peacefully answered, I know you take it, I but ask how much. Cordial candor cannot be refused to kindly intent; and, when relief is afforded, the sufferer´s gratitude is beyond example lively and strong.
