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.
