Healers: Physician, Dentist, Psychotherapist, Nurse, Osteopath, Physiotherapist, etc

     Is not our primary calling that of healer? Are we not all called to serve exactly like the shamans of old? Is not our "specialty" a mere detail?

     "Healing involves a basic logic of transformation from sickness to wellness that is enacted through culturally salient metaphorical actions.
     At the heart of any healing practice are metaphorical transformations of the quality of experience (from feeling ill to wellness) and the identity of the person (from afflicted to healed)."
