“A World Beyond Medicine”
Photograph by John Diamond, M.D.
What is Beethoven to medicine?
And the Buddha,
and Shankara,
and Raphael,
and Blake,
and Monteux,
and Euripides,
and Ravidas,
and Hireshiga,
and Basho and Buson,
and Black Hawk,
Vivekenanda,
and Wang Wei,
and Li Po, Tu Fu?
There is a World beyond medicine,
a World of the Soul.
Some doctors such as
Joseph Lister and James Simpson,
Paracelsus and Ainslie Meares,
Robert Fulford and Hans Nieper,
George Goodheart and John Connolly,
have transcended medicine
to the World Beyond.
