Spiro, M.D., professor emeritus of medicine (Science & Medicine) This compilation of essays by Spiro, which have appeared regularly in the pages of Science & Medicine since 1994, ranges broadly in subject from patients to technology to the state of medicine. Spiro addresses some recurrent themes: the importance of listening to the patient, consolation of the patient and the role of the physician as mediator between technology and patient.
