Extended information:

In 1915, Dr. Trudeau eventually died of tuberculosis. However, it was not his academic achievements that made him famous, but his The words engraved on the tombstone summarize and summarize his lifelong medical career: sometimes to cure; often to help; always to comfort.

“To cure” requires rich scientific knowledge and practical accumulation. "Cure" is "sometimes", not infinite. The sense of proportion here is very fine. Medicine cannot cure all diseases and cannot cure every patient. And patients should not blindly believe in the "ability" of medicine and have unrealistic illusions about medicine.

In addition to "helping" techniques, doctors often use warmth to help patients. From ancient times to the present, all medical technologies have been used to help people in difficult situations. The role of medicine is only to help, and there is no need to exaggerate its "magic".

“Going to help” is a transmission of humanity and an emotional expression on the basis of equality. Comfort is also a responsibility of medicine. It is full of deep emotions and must not be done perfunctorily. How to learn to comfort patients and insist on comforting patients regularly is a big topic and requires great skill.
