  3. High touch: Caring, not just curing A man stricken with disease today is assaulted by the same fears and finds himself searching for the same helping hand as his ancestors did five or ten thousand years ago. He has been told about the clever tools of modern medicine and somewhat vaguely, he expects that by-and-by he will profit by them, but in his hour of trial his desperate want is for someone who is personally committed to him, who has taken up his cause, and who is willing to go to trouble for him. D. EmerickSzilagyi, MD: In Defense of the Art of Medicine, 1965 (with thanks to Dr. Steven Kappes, Milwaukee, WI)
