Lawrence J. Hergott
In the midst of the cold and dark in the current practice of medicine there is a glimmer of hope called the soul of medicine—comprehensive, compassionate, patient-clinician interactions focused solely on the needs of the patient—that can warm and enlighten both patients and clinicians.
The soul of medicine
“A medical life well lived and a writing life finely wrought. I can’t think of any moment in our culture when we needed the balm of Dr. Hergott’s words and the example of his caring more than now.”

Read My New Book!
You want understanding, courage to rise from the dirt of disgrace and continue. You have that book in your hands. One of life’s greatest tragedies is missed opportunity. Don’t pass up this one.
With this collection, many types of readers can peer into a medical life well lived and a writing life finely wrought. I can’t think of any moment in our culture when we needed the balm of Dr. Hergott’s words and the example of his caring more than now.
This book, artfully written, has the potential to change how you view life—as a doctor, patient, or everyday person. Dr. Hergott’s writing has profoundly influenced my view of how truly virtuous scientific medicine can and must be practiced with compassion. I am a different physician and person for having read his work.
