Medical care has been misconstrued as the treatment of diseases by drugs, surgery, and other means. More properly, it is the treatment of persons who may have diseases, using available means. There is a huge difference.
The persons we serve have a spirit. That spirit is intimately connected to their body and the ailments of those bodies. Only personal contact by nurses, pharmacists, doctors, and others can effectively touch that spirit and its resources. We serve persons, and we use bags of chemicals as part of the means. We do not serve bags of chemicals.
