In The Physician Within You, Dr. Gladys Taylor McGarey shares the guiding philosophy of her 50-year medical practice. The real-life stories of her patients dramatically illustrates the potential of Dr. McGarey's humane and wise approach to medical care and gives you an exhilarating glimpse of the future of medicine. This book tells the real stories of real people, their living experiences as they have enriched my life and as I have influenced theirs. This book is for all people, physicians and patients alike. There is no physician who, at one time or another, will not be a patient and each of us has within us that divine spark which we have chosen to call "the physician within." There have been times when I have worked with a patient who had a bleeding peptic ulcer. The surgeon and I would remove the offending part of the stomach and bring about a cure but if that is all that we did, there would not be true healing. We needed to get to the basis of why they got sick in the first place and if we did not, the problem would be back perhaps at an even deeper and more severe level. We could have cured the disease but not had a healing of the patient - not without bringing forth the physician within.Dr. Gladys McGarey.
