| 21 | An Indian Primer of Palliative Care For medical students and doctors It is all about the right combination of science with compassion. There is no situation when nothing more can be done. When we learn to treat pain and symptoms and to offer psycho-socio- spiritual support, and when we learn to work as a team with fellow professionals and volunteers, we gain strength to relieve much of the suffering that we turn away from today, and to walk with the patient and family in their struggles. Then frustration begins to give way to satisfaction from our work. And we get closer to being the healer and not just a medical technologist - that a doctor can be. |
