When thinking about medicine in the 21st century, one hears a great lament: patients feel misunderstood, doctors feel surrounded by constraints, while technology and ever-new alternative methods make promises of healing. But how do we truly become healthier? Bernd Hontschik, a practicing physician, takes the liberty to reflect on his daily work—and beyond—and advocates for a rethinking in medicine. The first volume of the new series medizinHuman addresses the misguided paths of high-tech medicine and the importance of medical creativity. Why do wounds, against all logic, sometimes not heal? Why do medications work sometimes and not at other times? His answer: the human being is far more than a trivial machine, and the art of healing lies in treating him as such: as a unity of body and soul. Body, Soul, Human is one volume.
