Descriere

The healing power of touch, of empathy and the erotic, of love itself, form the themes of Rafael Campo's humanistic work. It is an exploration of an alternative way of approaching medicine, uncovering the truths of Campo's own passions and fears, of his life as a doctor, poet, Latino and gay man within the medical establishment, and the tragic flaws in health care.
