Patient care is a combination of medical expertise and human interaction. HealthMaker William Mobley, MD, PhD, talks in this video about how the whole picture must be considered when treating patients.
If you're uniquely you, then I need to treat you for the unique human being you are, and my treating you, my interacting with you means I've go to bring all those resources I have at my command to be part of your life and help you to which you need to do, to which you want to do. So the holistic peace is there, I mean you know for a neuroscientist, holistic is not a problem, it's basically the brain and all the information the brain has to process and respond to.
So, I think a neuroscientist has no trouble understanding the holism in, if the brain is the organ of the mind and the mind is the quintessential beginning of soul, then why could we ever not deal with the whole person, I mean what sense would that make.
William Mobley, MD, PhD, is chair of the Department of Neurosciences at UCSD and a leading expert on Down syndrome and Alzheimer's disease. He discusses the surprising link between Down syndrome and Alzheimer's.
