Konner took an objective view to describe his time as a medical student but recognized he wrote subjectively from four points of view as anthropologist, educator, middle-aged husband and father. Konner also shared two years of experience in Africa where he saw the essentially religious experience of healing performed by ritual healers. He compares that experience to American medicine's "spiritual wasteland" and doctors who use tests, drugs and scalpels with little religious sensitivity.
