چکیده

These are not the words of a faint hearted poet but of a person that the field of medicine perhaps deems itself indebted to.

Like him Avicenna also believed that the diagnosis of any disease was flawed as well as inadequate unless all aspects of the patient’s life were taken into account. This particular notion in today’s day and age is becoming the stepping stone for standard modality of treatment in some parts of the world.
