“The War is Over”
Stop the Wall
In March, 2014, I was privileged to travel to Jordan, Israel, and Palestine with a team from the Palestine Medical Education Initiative (PMedOnline.org) led by Michael Morse, MD. PMed seeks to improve the lives of Palestinians through medical education and quality mental health services. Health and well-being are inextricably tied to social justice — injustice is demoralizing. Linked are the trip report and an article by Dr. Samah Jabr on the psychological effects of the occupation.

One More Mountain to Climb: What My Illness Taught Me about Health
Cancer is a complex illness with biological, psychosocial, and spiritual facets. This book follows the odyssey of a physician who was diagnosed with a virulent blood cancer, multiple myeloma, and came to a new understanding of health and wellness as he underwent bone marrow transplant with massive chemotherapy, navigated the hazards of the health delivery system, learned to cope with the illness and then the treatment, and finally emerged into a whole new life with a new appreciation of the relationship of illness, health, trauma and resilience.
