The relief of suffering is the great goal of medicine. That physicians give up on suffering when they can do nothing about the underlying condition is one of the contemporary criticisms of medicine. Yet even in irremediable suffering there is something noble, to which physicians should attend.
减轻痛苦是医学的伟大目标。当医生对潜在病症无能为力时就放弃减轻患者痛苦，这是当代对医学的批评之一。然而，即使面对无法治愈的痛苦，仍存在某种高尚的东西，医生应该予以关注。
