Himself a half-breed cherokee, he had the innate belief in a spiritual component to illness but found it totally lacking in his medical training. And more... he found, during his attempted residencies, that his superiors were often so uncaring of their patients' feelings and sensibilities, so bound up in their own egos that their treatment was abusive. Gradually, feeling almost like an outsider, he gets involved with various forms of native healing. He is able, through his training, to verify that healing has taken place, and yearns to be able to incorporate both Western and Native methods. What a tightrope Dr. Mehl has to walk, what despair he endures before he can stand in the light of his own spiritual convictions and become a healer in the truest meaning of the word - 'one who makes whole'.
