sobre Cuidados Paliativos

When It’s the Doctor Who Can’t Let Go

Sanya Kantarovsky

um trecho:

"Palliative care itself suffers from an identity problem, in that many people equate palliation with hospice — i.e., end of life. This mistaken association can make a palliative care consultation feel like a death sentence to even the most open-minded clinicians, patients and family members. Striving for a cure is historically seen as a unique pathway that restores health; easing suffering is a separate, non-curative path that ends with the patient dying."
