Excerpt

“The relief of suffering and the cure of disease must be seen as twin obligations of a medical profession that is truly dedicated to the care of the sick. Physicians’ failure to understand the nature of suffering can result in medical intervention that (though technically adequate) not only fails to relieve suffering but becomes a source of suffering itself.”
—Eric J. Cassel [1]
We must abandon those orientations that treat pain as an object independently of the being that it affects.
—Giordano and Schatman [2]
