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.
