Book excerpt: Dr. Bernard Lown offers a new paradigm--medicine with a human face, in which the art of healing is as important as the mastery of medical techniques. This is his passionate call for a renewal in the social contract of doctoring. Dr. Lown is professor emeritus of cardiology at Harvard Medical School and senior physician at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. He is co-founder of Physicians Against Nuclear War and accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of that organization in 1985.
