Is oncology a spiritual practice? It is important, if not essential, to recognize how patients contextualize their illness. Medical education does not prepare us for the tangential effects of illness, and we therefore miss opportunities to treat the spiritual domains of human suffering. Through experiences from mentors, both within medical oncology and palliative care, I learned what true patient centered medicine entails-lcaring for patients-lbody and soul.
肿瘤学是一种精神修行吗?认识到患者如何将他们的疾病置于特定情境中,即便不是至关重要的,也是很重要的。医学教育并未让我们为疾病的附带影响做好准备,因此我们错失了治疗人类痛苦精神层面的机会。通过肿瘤内科和姑息治疗领域导师们的经验,我学到了真正以患者为中心的医学意味着什么——关怀患者——身心兼顾。
