    Abstract"The language of illness" is a wide ranging exploration of the therapeutic medical process - where it goes right and where is misfires. Communication and empathy are core values explored in the detail exemplifying the art of medicine along side the science. There is a deep seated wisdom and sympathetic philosophy within its pages which is very valuable for the healing and caring professions.
