內容簡介
內容簡介 Originally written in 1665 by Rabbi-Physician Jacob ben Isaac Zahalon of Rome, The Physician's Prayer is one of history's most moving reflections on medicine, faith, and moral duty. Composed in the aftermath of the plague, it calls upon the physician to act as an instrument of divine compassion-guided by humility, ethics, and love for humankind. Reissued and introduced by Dr. Aaron J. Feingold, a modern cardiologist and author of Tales of a Cardiologist, this timeless prayer reminds us that medicine beyond being a science, is also a sacred calling. Reverent, poetic, and profoundly human, it speaks as urgently to today's healers as it did to those of seventeenth-century Rome.
