Using Visual and Narrative Methods to Achieve Fair Process in Clinical Care
Published on: February 16, 2011
Abstract:
While scientific developments have done much to improve the lot of mankind, especially in the developed world, this progress has been purchased by the division of our understanding of the person into parts. The effect has been that spiritual concerns of the person have not been considered the proper role of the medical community. The number of aged persons who are less reticent to demand discussion of their overall needs as well as the hospice movement itself has had the effect of bringing the spiritual back into consideration by health-care professionals.
