“Care and self-care” “god as a mirror of the self”

A group of physicians of different ages and background gathered together to express their hope for a person-based medicine. The inescapable conclusion of their encounter is that care begets more care, whereas lack of care is contrary to one’s sense of mission and self-worth and generates the need for escapes from oneself. The translation of this concept into clinical practice lies in our ability to communicate our experience in our most common seat of encounter: when we are with another human being in need.
