The Healing Touch

Fielding Medical Center is where Jerry Stoner has practiced psychiatry for many years. It’s where Rachel Weis’s husband died some time back. And it’s where Rachel has become a medical ethicist, using her law degree to fight for patients’ rights. Jerry and Rachel had been friends for a very long time, but things were changing between them. And not in an altogether comfortable way, for either of them. In her work Rachel relied on Jerry’s professional skills and humane support. But as their relationship became more personal she warned him, “I’m not interested in sex.” What was a psychiatrist to make of that?
