I m glad u started to appreciate the importance of palliative care .if u are inspired by the essays of Dr Kalanidhi ,then I recommend you the works of Dr Atul Gawande and particularly the book Being Mortal . It's a very interesting read and an analysis of mortality and medical care in the dusk of human life ...more on geriatrics , gerontology , hospital care , hospice care , the mental state of a person in the last days , the economic , emotional aspects and stuff like that ...you might know this book already ..was a best seller last year ..also I wish to suggest u to go through Kubler Ross model of grief which is actually a series of emotional states experienced by survivors of an intimate's death . Being a medical student , u might find it interesting ..also the talks of Dr. Vikram Patel might help you to be more compassionate to patients and give importance to the mental and psychological aspects of medical care . Doctors nowadays tend to be just machines and treat patients as if they are just an organ system and deliberately forget the person behind the skin and bones .many a times elders who complain about vague pains all over the body suffers from some degree of depression. Most doctors miss this and treat it with some oral analgesics or topical preparations .what direct effect can analgesics have on healing the mind . sometimes words of comfort and consolation might prove very effective ...and every patient expects doctor to be like a friend . It may not be possible in this fast pace world and everyone has a a lot of responsibliities to meet .however it will be nice if doctors listen more and be sensitive to issues of patients and uphold the dignity of the patients .....I hope you will come out as a good ,great and compassionate doctor .....:) <br /><br />Wishing you A Sky Full Of Stars (Coldplay )Arundhatinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4084375408939455089.post-32097317179235108592015-05-01T22:05:40.536+05:302015-05-01T22:05:40.536+05:30One day the whole world thanksful to u, for your l...One day the whole world thanksful to u, for your little words to themsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18110556280939612681noreply@blogger.com
