Preface
This book was written based on my experience as a pediatrician. Having studied and worked within the paradigm of allopathic medicine for many years, it was by no means comfortable to leave the tradition of a university career and venture into unknown territory where the safety of scientific evidence soon disappears.
At one point in my career while I was working for a university hospital, I started to feel unsettled. Having chosen the allopathic medical discipline, I was becoming increasingly specialized in a particular field of medicine. I felt, however, that I was losing what had originally motivated me to study medicine and become a physician. I was an expert in medical philosophy, which in fact seemed to serve only the scientific process (whatever that means). Its original mission—to help the ill—no longer seemed that important.
I was preoccupied with these kinds of thoughts and feelings for quite some time. Consequently, I abruptly quit my university career. Hoping to be in immediate contact with patients and realizing my ideals of a medical practitioner, I opened my own private pediatric practice.
Even then, the joy of working independently and maintaining my personal integrity soon diminished. I was growing increasingly unsettled again.
