The science of medicine, done well, is a powerful healer; but there is also healing power in kindness. They heal synergistically. Science and compassion, working together, produce a healing effect greater than the sum of their individual parts. If medical students understand this, they become the best doctors. They become the doctors we want for our healthcare and for the healthcare of our family and friends.

Most every morning, as I awaken, I greet my great cloud of witnesses. This is a time of meditation in which I silently call their names, realizing that I have forgotten (or do not even know) the names of many more. We all have clouds of witnesses, people who were on earth and left footprints for us to follow, but have preceded us into the life ever after. They are faithful, spiritual witnesses who accompany us on our journey. Their legacy helps to inform our actions.

Father’s Day is just around the corner. I am related to several fathers (or papas) named Leo and we have a new Pope named Leo. Travel this healthy spiritual journey with me as we weave those threads of information into a tapestry of thoughts.
