Who Heals the Doctor?

Dr. Kane was a famous psychiatrist who’d already been an expert in the field for at least a decade before I came down to This World.  His ground-breaking research on human development was legendary, and I was grateful to have been a student of his during the course of my training back in Boston.

So when he called me on a recent visit to the Holy Land, I was more than a little flattered.

“It’s always good to touch base with my old students,” he told me. “And in addition, Dr. Freedman, I have a business proposition for you, and I’d like to pay you for a few confidential hours of your time.”

Dr. Kane was in Israel for a guest lecture at The Israeli Psychiatric Association’s annual convention. And while I had no idea what business this venerable sage in his 80s was into, we scheduled a time for the coming week.
