    About this ebook

    "A doctor should be a clown at heart, a scientist at brain and a mother at conscience."

    Abhijit Naskar - this is not just a name - it's an idea - an idea of self-realization - an idea of a healthy humanity - an idea of one humanity. And that idea rises through this book once again to extend the flow of practical philosophy of life to all practitioners of medicine. This is a humanitarian guidebook of the true philosophy, ethics and purpose of medical practice for all doctors and would-be doctors to understand themselves and their patients better. Naskar, the humanitarian neuroscientist lends a hand to the bold and life-saving individuals known as doctors in their practice of medicine, so that they could, in the truest sense of the term "save lives" and not just treat sick bodies.

      The Medicine

      Medicine is not merely a field of scientific knowledge - it is a backup force of life. Medicine stands at the forefront of humankind's greatest and most magnificent achievements. And in this amazingly magnastic (I coin here the term magnastic as an adjective to describe magnificent and fantastic together) feat of humanity, the urge for knowledge has played a crucial role, but as far as the practice of medicine is concerned, knowledge alone is nothing but worthless piece of empirical information.

      Knowledge must be born from empirical understanding surely, but it must not be bound to the limitations of empiricism, for imagination is no empiricism, yet some of the greatest wisdoms that manifested in the human universe were realized through imagination. Hence, once born, knowledge must spread its wings and make the mind comprehend even the incomprehensible.

      There is a difference between medical knowledge and medical wisdom. Medical knowledge is merely the understanding of sickness and its possible treatments, whereas medical wisdom is about having a deeper insight of human wellbeing, beyond the simple understanding of sickness and treatments. With medical knowledge one may treat a sick body and make it function properly for a short period of time, but it is with medical wisdom, that one can treat a human being, suffering from a certain sickness, and have a lasting impact on the person's existence.

      Medical knowledge only can postpone sickness and death, but it is in the power of medical wisdom to sustain life with all its colors, sweetness and textures. So, don't just acquire medical knowledge, work on that knowledge with the force of your conscience and turn it into the most effective medical wisdom in the history of medicine. You are not a soulless computer that acquires more and more data, without actually knowing the actual use of that data. Acquiring more and more medical data doesn't make you a good doctor, what does, is your ability to see through that data and utilize it to heal not just the patient's body, but his or her entire being.

      There is a difference between a doctor of humans and a mechanic of machines. A mechanic fixes machines, whereas a doctor restores the spirit in humans. You are a doctor, not a mechanic. So, act like one. However, more and more so-called doctors of today are trained as mechanics who fix the human body instead of trying to heal the human being. But, don't let the psyche of majority fool you – expand your consciousness beyond the size of your society. A land of mechanics may try its best to turn you into a mechanic, but forget not, that you are a doctor who heals, not a mechanic who fixes.

      Practice of Medicine is unlike most other scientific practices, where the love of one's field, makes the person a good practitioner of that field. Love of Mathematics, makes a person a good mathematician, love of physics makes a person a good physicist, love of chemistry makes a person a good chemist. But when it comes to medicine, or to be specific, practice of medicine, it's not the love of medicine that makes a person a good doctor, it's the love of humanity. Love of medicine may make you a good medical researcher, but not a good medical doctor.

      A good doctor - that's what you ought to be concerned of being - and the only way to be so, is to foster a plain, ordinary, everyday love for humanity. And if
