Why Do Male Models Have To Shave

euthanasia and aggressive treatment

I know, we're all busy with exams and perhaps none of us has his head to tackle this debate now, but that's why it's time to talk about it: it is precisely because we do not forget that our lives as future physicians will be marked by thousands of pressing commitments and contingent, of the tensions, from moments stress perhaps much worse days before the exams. But at the core of our life there will always be the sick, who are suffering in body and spirit that seek care, even before it healed, although we often think that our problems are practical and organizational, the reality is that daily we are met with much larger issues: the death, suffering, loss of affections, as the disease threat to human dignity. Questions to which we will be able to cope with the profound hope to be helpful to the patient.

Pierre Mertens writes: "Consular means not running away, staying with someone in spite of the deep discomfort that pain and suffering of the cause in us. As a therapist, I recognize one thing: moments intense are not the ones where I soon to interpretation, but those in which the witness of suffering deeper. When I was obliged to stay. Because for those who suffer, to hear the fact that he is not alone in these desperate times, it opens the door to hope, to a solution that may come. "
Well, I think this is the perspective in which to read this debate: the doctor is not the master of the lives of his patients, but it holds the key to change the "natural history" of their suffering, but often the pain, disability, pain and suffering make life unbearable. How do we deal with these people? How dare we tell if we were witnesses of their deep pain?
As usual, I will not expose here my point of view, the only thing I want to emphasize is that we are called to live out these dramas in person, and that the a priori dogmatic positions and have no value if they are not accompanied by consistent personal commitment to the 'tilt' towards those who suffer.

Rhyming Phrases For Wedding Invitations

Doctors without ethics

The New York Times headline this morning: "Doctors without ethics, just wheeling and dealing" and again: "(...) those who wear the shirts abolish the words market and manager."

I printed this article and I'll take it, not so much for the article itself (it's an interview with Professor Bonadonna, oncologist), but rather for the argument that touches and too often My opinion is undervalued or even forgotten.

Almost a year ago I have experienced personnel on this issue that I have marked and often led me to question me. For this reason I decided to write to you: my teammates, friends and acquaintances. I chose you not only for the emotional ties I have with some, but mainly because I believe that your association should also strive for this.

Let me explain. News stories that assail us every day and weigh should give us pause. Not to bring forth in us a mere condemnation of the incident, but rather to grow in us (in you future doctors) need to be different now and in the future.

I still remember the first time we talked about creating the SISM of Parma. I remember the great values, project ideas and feelings on issues like this.

Being good students of medicine and good doctors then then, I do not think simply be the first class of undergraduate degree, or hospital association.

be good doctors say I should rather think about the good of others as if it were their own good or that of a loved one.

ethics, as well as the values \u200b\u200bs'interiorizzano (Perhaps) over time through experience and through the social fabric in which we live. 'S why I believe that everyone should always think of the other party and not (only) to its own economic benefit, social and / or political.

I am writing today because I think it is possible to apply this rule in everyday life: to be in our students, employees, shareholders and above all friends.

If you want to take it as a council, or as a simple point of view.

I hope it was not heavy and if I was ... well, it means that I will refer to the party with my nonsense kebaaaaaaaaab!

PS: Finally, on this topic I recommend a book:

Across Sandro Bartoccioni, Gianni Bonadonna, Francesco Sartori (Edizioni BUR). [The first part is really worth!]

First Audition Gropping

A new book

I thought the blog could also be a tool for comparison on important issues, do not get me wrong, I am very happy with the turn that has taken this initiative and participation of all of you, but I would like to introduce to the side on the page (just above the well-known as video of Medicine for all), a picture. A photo is updated every week and is a starting point for a debate between us on issues relating to medicine or that goes well with it, to see a bit 'as these future doctors are moving out of heavy books handling too many hours a day. Books that, if they are part of everyday life, in danger of becoming "dead paper," good only for sophistry and speculation of some old and bloated professorone.
My idea was this: once a week I will propose the photo (possibly with an attached survey), from a brief post introducing the topic, during the week who has something to say or ask about you commenting on the post even just to say how he thinks about it, or to provide new points of view, personal experiences, readings. A weekend we'll know all a little more.

The argument that I wanted to propose this week is the 180/78 , better known as "law Basaglia" , named after its founder, psychiatrist Mark Levy MD. The law of 1978, is an important framework law that imposed the closure of asylums and settlement in the Compulsory Health Treatment (TSO), setting up the public mental health services . Beyond the obvious merits that the law has had in improving the care of psychiatric patients, it has received over the years a number of criticisms and proposals for revision, especially by associations of relatives of psychiatric patients, which was poured a shot of the burden of their physical and psychological care.
In introducing this subject I will not take place, but advise everyone to learn a little on the subject before discussing it, due to its extreme delicacy and intimacy. This is not to completely halt the debate, but ...
