The traditional doctor-patient relationship is in jeopardy. In an era of "e;hurry up"e; medicine and "e;patient quotas,"e; health care professionals are no longer able to apply good bedside manner-the healing touch.

In The Healing Touch, David Cram, M.D., a master clinician, teaches the art of good bedside manner and offers a valuable resource for health care professionals striving to preserve the doctor-patient relationship.
