‘In Medicine as a Human Science, Dr Norelle Lickiss explores the telos of medicine and the vocation of its practitioners. It is a small collection of essays, written in elegantly simple prose, but profound in its impact. Dr Lickiss’s ecological conception of medical practice presents the doctor-patient relationship, based on mutual respect, as the central dynamic of the art and science of healing. Based on her long experience as a consultant in oncology and palliative medicine, this renowned physician shares what she has learned and sketches a vision of medicine much needed in the world today.’ – Jack Coulehan MD, MPH
‘The teachings of Professor Lickiss are well reflected in this series of her philosophical essays, which Jean Curthoys has put together in one compendium. Ms Curthoys is to be congratulated for bringing these essays together. Some of them are old lectures which have not previously been published, but they will now remain an important resource for future generations.’ – Neville F. Hacker AM
