The Doctor and the Modern Medical Ethic
A reflective piece contrasts fiction with reality in medicine, acknowledging the shift from family physicians to specialists. It emphasizes service over self, the responsibility to heal both bodies and spirits, and finds happiness in busy, meaningful care rather than escape or personal gain. The narrative urges physicians to balance science with compassionate duties.
Two Paths to Eden in Books on Happiness and Duty
The essay reviews two new books about a German doctor and his search for happiness while seeking an ideal life on a remote island. One book is fiction about a wise physician, the other a factual account of a flawed utopian attempt. It argues life’s duties beat retreat into solitude and that true happiness comes from service to humanity.
