Yet that is what happens in our modern medical system, a system so focused on technology and cure, it loses sight of the person behind the illness.
The result is cruel and needless suffering. In Stay, Breathe with Me, the authors make the argument that it s time to revive the art of care.
If we fully embrace the human side of illness, if we remove the false barriers separating caregivers from the seriously ill, we can meet in that space of shared humanity and universal human needs.
This is the space of heart and compassion, where healing hands can be guided by the wisdom of the patient and where suffering can be eased. Informed by the voices of the seriously ill, their families, and the lifelong experience of a pioneer in palliative care,
Stay, Breathe with Me illustrates how to bring heart back into healthcare and compassion for those who need it most."
