Has the Medical Field Lost Touch With Humanity?

Jay Miller welcomes Joseph Clair and Tyler Tate, co-authors of the recent article entitled "Love Your Patient as Yourself: On Reviving the Broken Heart of American Medical Ethics" (see below for the full text). The trio digs into the difficulty of medical ethics in a cultural moment during which human beings are commonly seen as advanced chemical machines--and nothing more. Why are so many medical professionals burning out? What is the real motivator behind so many doctors' initial drive to care for their patients? How do we get back to the task of healing people, not just fixing bodies?
