Regarding the Ideal Doctor, a famous Frenchman once wrote

“The principal grievance I have against the doctors is that they neglect the real problem, which is to seize the unity of the individual who claims their care. Their methods of investigation are far too elementary; a doctor who does not read you to the bottom is ignorant of essentials. To me the ideal doctor would be a man endowed with profound knowledge of life and of the soul, intuitively divining any suffering or disorder of whatever kind and restoring peace by his mere presence.

Such a doctor is possible, but the greater number of them lack the higher and the inner life; they known nothing of the transcendental laboratories of Nature; they seem to me superficial, profane, strangers to Divine things, destitute of intuition and sympathy. The model doctor should be at once a priest, a technician, an understanding saint.”
