Blackbag Remedies for the Ailing Medical Soul

This collection of "prescriptions" for healing the healer within offers an inspirational dose of reality and humor for those who practice or study medicine. From humble advice like, "Wear you white coat lightly," and much needed permission to "burn denied claims with the jasmine or lavender scented flames of serenity candles" to courageous encouragement in "seeking to return to an exclusive partnership with the patient," Dr. DeLuca-Verley strives to reconnect healers to their essential belief in the essence of medicine.

During a time when healthcare insurers, and often the media, devalue medical personnel's roles and responsibilities, Blackbag Remedies validates the professional and humanistic tension that exists for these practitioners whose calling may feel compromised by the "business" of medicine. It also opens patients’ eyes who, likewise, are bound and frustrated on the other side of the glass. This small book packs a powerful punch by acknowledging debilitating state-of-insurance affairs and dispensing creative prescriptions to begin healing today's diseased medical environment.
