Mental and body health?

Last night we discuss among other issues mental health, and several times during the discussion I heard the Fraze "psychosomatic illness" It is very strange for me, that I am a Medical doctor and a Homeopathic patient and I never could understood how can not all the disease been psychosomatic. How can you take your perception and your personal feelings from the perspective of a disease....is it for everyone the same or each individual experience different sensation associate with their perceptions, and specially if we are taking about mental health.
I hope this make sense for you...

The role of the medical doctors

During our last class we discuss the role of the medical doctors.
What we want form the medical community?. In our discussion it seams that we expect that they do more than cure disease, but how is their training in medical school? I was surprise tha one of our classmates mention that there is no public health class in the medical curriculum here. When I went to med school even it was not the most "popular" class we take at least an introduction to public health. I think it might be a good idea to introduce it in the curriculum specially if its for the benefit of the majority of the population.
