We cannot speak about care nor cure without realizing that the concept of health care is designed to aid all the needs a patient has. And surely, only by placing ourselves in the patient's spot, trying to live inside his/her skin for a few minutes, we can comprehend the complexity of the situation which surrounds him/her. This is the way to understand, from all angles, that all efforts must be coordinated to attend to each patient's physical and emotional needs.
