"Stay with Me" by Anderson Spickard Jr. discusses topics ranging from simple compassion to complex alcoholismNASHVILLE, Tenn. (MMD Newswire) August 24, 2011 -- In his book, "Stay with Me" (ISBN 1460913787), Anderson Spickard Jr. tells how he spent the years between the 1950s and '90s devoted to patient care in internal medicine, where he experienced what he calls "the miracles of diagnosis and treatment."
Through an entertaining combination of humor and emotion, Spickard gives an account unique to his specialty in infectious disease and addiction, and the manner in which he relates to his patients. His anecdotes stress the importance of understanding a patient's condition; seeing patients in their own, familiar environment helps, Spickard says.
An ideal guide for medical students and an intelligent story for the general public, "Stay with Me" smartly criticizes modern medicine's reliance on technology and praises the power of the individual doctor to approach his patient on a personal level. Spickard also addresses the diseases he encountered in training and offers insight into the general practice of medicine.

Is alcoholism a disease or an addiction? : Health Care,Medicine care
If you belong to a cult… errr… I mean AA it is a disease.
If you are a rational thinking individual it is an addiction. A miss under stood addiction. Scientific studies by unbiased groups have shown that the majority of people classified as “alcoholics” are in all actuality over indulgers and show no real form of addiction.
Don’t get me wrong, alcoholism is real and dangerous. Over indulges is just childish behavior by adults acting as children.
EDIT:
The AMA recognizes it a disease… but it widely debated in the community as to whether it is or not.
