Letting a gravely ill patient know someone cares about him and is looking after him in the last days of his life is like a spiritual release for the patient. The doctor becomes more optimistic and realistic, and the patient is at peace and liberated from fear.
因為讓重症病人在臨終前一刻，知道還有人在乎他、願意照顧他，提供這樣的信心支援，對他和病人來說，都是一種心靈成長和解脫；讓醫者樂觀踏實，病者也安詳無懼。
