每天，全球有許多病患都在詢問這些問題。
They ask them because they face a health care system that is scientifically complex, organizationally overloaded, and generally not oriented to the patient as a person.

Beyond question, his own disease sensitized him to the complex mix of expectations, needs, fears,

and appreciation that patients feel when facing a physical-mental trial while at the same time looking forthat perfect physician to help them.

Patients flocked to this doctor，not just for his accurate diagnoses, his correct therapies, or even his warmth,
