Drawing from her own experience as a medical doctor, renowned spiritual writer Adrienne von Speyr offers a profound and practical guide for doctors and nurses who seek to serve not just the body—but the whole person.

In this powerful reflection on the vocation of healthcare, von Speyr explores:

• The emotional and spiritual weight carried by medical professionals
• The sacred privilege of caring for the suffering and vulnerable
• How faith must shape every action in the life of a Catholic doctor or nurse
• What it means to see each patient as an equal and a whole human being
• The importance of becoming transparent to God in the medical profession

Far more than a job, Catholic healthcare is a calling—one that unites medical skill with Christ’s healing love. This book invites caregivers to rediscover their mission as bearers of the Gospel, offering hope, compassion, and spiritual care along with physical healing.

For anyone in the medical field, Doctor & Patient offers timeless wisdom and inspiration to carry the burden of care with humility, grace, and strength from the Divine Physician.
