HUMANISING EYE CARE: A Patient Communication Guide for the AI Era

The responsibility of physicians in alleviating human suffering goes beyond routine surgical carpentry. Holding a patient’s hand to show empathy is as important, if not more important, than repairing a complex retinal detachment. This need is often felt by physicians themselves when they go as patients. We live in interesting times of lot of information but probably less knowledge. This book, Humanising Eye Care is very timely as it emphasises the need for physicians to go beyond the knowledge of medicine and to be responsible healers to alleviate the distress of our patients and ensure their well being.
