This practice-based philosophical study presents the view thatprofessional healthcare is not just one of the many paid professions. Onthe contrary, healthcare should be redefined as a modest but meaningfulvariant of enacted love for one's fellow human beings, practiced in aninstitutional context. There is a reciprocal side to it, as it is notjust professionals who show loving care for their patients, residents, or clients. Those groups have feelings of gratitude, respect andaffinity for the professionals, although not all of them are equallysatisfied. Obviously, love should be understood in a non-romantic andnon-erotic way, and its location is not the private sphere.
