On Touching Naked Bodies (In the Clinic)

This is also beautifully written. One of my favorite parts:

   I am learning to worship strangers, and I want, so badly, 
   the space—the moment—to seek multiple truths, like an artist 
   or a writer—the truth of diagnosis, the truth of personhood. 
   I want to seek out clinical truths with a steady hand and 
   observant eye. But I also want to listen for spiritual truths 
   and emotional truths; I want to expose my heart and be 
   vulnerable enough to feel for and with patients.
