Doctoring as a Human Experience: On Developing a Healing Partnership Caring for the Human Spirit, the Patients Soul

Doctoring as a Human Experience: On Developing a Healing Partnership Caring for the Human Spirit, the Patients Soul

In Patients experiences (Banner 2001), we considered the process (stages) of becoming a patient, that suffering is much more than pain, and recognized the subjectivity of decision making by patients. All these point up the need for inputs from patients. They should be our advisors/ counselors/ teachers these people who have experienced illness and who understand their experiences. These advisors are essential in understanding and improving patient care, as well as in medical education, policy development and research (Reiser 1993). I illustrate the notions presented in this article with the experiences I shared with a patient named Stanley, who had severe and complex illnesses.
