Physicians
Must Retain Their Compassion for Patients
Today, patient advocacy, as a viable means
to improving the welfare of our society,
finds itself in a rather precarious state,
fought at high pitch in the pain-filled and
bloody trenches of the emergency rooms and
operating rooms of hospitals all over the
country. Physicians' advocacy, meanwhile,
can be likened to white-collar
warfare-though ironically fought in the
pristine halls of justice or the sterile
offices of HMOs and insurance companies.
Through some perverse twist, as we enter the
second millennium, the practice of medicine
has been turned on its head.
How can this have occurred? Our century has
been witness to the marvelous advance of
medical treatment, from Salk's polio vaccine
to Bamard's heart transplant. We lifted the
curse of tuberculosis and have seen babies
come into this world through in-vitro
fertilization. Scientists and physicians
have worked hand in hand to develop
thousands of treatments, surgical
techniques, and pharmaceutical therapies to
relieve the most intense pain, cure the
incurable, and salvage the unsalvageable.
