Publisher's Synopsis
The face of modern medical care has changed dramatically. Medical conglomerates have replaced private medical practices, and insurance companies have assumed the role of deciding who has access to healthcare. And yet, in spite of a system that often thwarts humanity and compassion, there are countless healthcare workers who believe that medicine should not be a business of finances and insurance, but a matter of tending to the patient's body and spirit. These healthcare workers are the true heroes of modern medicine, for they embrace hope, love, and laughter and go beyond the call of duty to care for their patients. The Shelter of Rainbows is a collection of short stories that honors these individuals-the cornerstones of compassionate medicine.
