“I love being a doctor but I hate practicing medicine,” a friend, Saeed Siddiqui, told me recently.

Can we imagine alternatives for providing access to the skills, machinery and care implicit in modern medicine, including complementary medicine? How can international trading currencies function effectively within the contexts of health care?
