From a doctor's standpoint, most physicians are more interested in--and gain a greater sense of accomplishment--treating standard acute diseases rather than chronic diseases like cancer, which are difficult to care for and entail expensive equipment and costly treatment.
站在醫生的立場，對急性疾病的照顧較有興趣與成就感，但癌症等慢性病，照顧困難、儀器昂貴、治療成本又高，大部分醫療人員，對照顧癌症末期病患，自然缺少耐心與興趣。
