Used the book in my work and in my own path to be more useful to people who are bewildered about their health or suffering from a medical condtion.

This is an awesome book; very encouraging. I bought a copy to give to one of my fellow nurses.

It was a good read that I passed on to a friend who is a doctor. It is a basic Dharma book with the emphasis on the cultivation of compassion.

That's what many physicians seek for self improvemnt and to be better doctors! It is missing in the Medi one Course, but here to be learned!

Medicine & Compassion is an important book. It should be required reading for physicians, medical students, nurses, caregivers, and hospice staff. Every family should have it on their bookshelf. Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, and even non-religious people will benefit from this book because the ideas are about the human condition which transcends all differences of faith. In a word, this book is a treasure.

We all grow old, get sick, and die. Impermanence, uncertainty, and sorrow permeate our very existence. Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche and David R. Shlim, M.D., answer the important questions of why we get sick and to how to respond with compassion and mercy, when illness or impending death are at hand. One could say that it is a manual to understanding our own nature and mortality.

The narrative tone of the book is intelligent and merciful - never sugary or overdone. I could really feel the subtle, yet vibrant life energy of the book as it conjured forgotten images and feelings. It caused me to reflect on the end of life care that I administered for my parents and brother. I was able to see what was good and what was lacking in my care for them, without feeling a sense of regret. In fact, I gained a sense of optimism for the future.

As a writer on Buddhist healing, I found this to be a perfectly cut gem. Its words and inferences reflected the light of wisdom. I found it an invaluable tool for encouraging the sick and suffering. I was especially impressed with the author's end of life guidance in the chapter "Easing the Process of Dying." As a Buddhist for more than 30 years, I've read many works on death, dying, and the bardos. Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche and Dr. Shlim explain this subject in a way that can satisfy the average person or the spiritually advanced. Most of all, the reader will be inspired to improve their own life and mind.

I highly recommend this book. Just as an outdoorsman needs a compass, so too can this book guide one in challenging times.

I've been practicing medicine for over 30 years and been a patient as well. What is it that you want in a 'healer.' Compassion. But it doesn't come in a pill bottle, nor at the end of an endoscope, nor between the scalpel and the skin. Compassion is the critical part of caring that helps people get better. For those of you who take care of patients, this book provides a perspective you won't find in print anywhere else. Would that this book was required reading in medical school, residency, and at all continuing medical education courses! Then the US might become a little healthier than the sorry state it is in now.

This book is quite brief, and offers the reader a compact and concise overview of Tibetan Buddhism's approach to medicine, caregiving, and death. It is not necessary to be a Buddhist to gain insight from this book, and I wish I had had access to it years ago when I was caring for an ill relative. Should be purchased by libraries.
