Listen to various stories by Bernie Siegel, MD during about his practice as a doctor with cancer patients and with children and how by conversing with each person, listening to their dreams, intuition, or even having a child do a drawing about their operation gave him great insights and sometime avoid mistakes while trying to save their life in an operating room. How he discovered how to understand a cancer patient and often raise their spiritual views so they could learn how to heal their own bodies; and at times how he would speak to their subconscious mind while in the operating room and request them to stay in this life, often proving to other doctors and staff that these methods work as the patient would survive and be well. Over the years he has trained several therapists to work with patients who are very ill or teach someone how to change their mindset. He  gives us a better understanding of how our mind works, and where our power to get well resides; as well as how we can decide to pass peacefully on our own terms from a point of strength and a sense of empowerment.
