First of all, I would like to thank Dr.Karki for providing us such a relevant and must to be addressed topic in this medical forum.I think the pain and suffering are two different components of an illness.These modern ways of treatment and care of the patient have added sufferings to the patient.A patient who hardly can afford for his/her bread and butter are subjected to unnecessary and painful interventions in so called modern treament procedures.For a patient,receiving a long term suffering from his treament procedures would be more herculean task than the pain of the illness itself.Most of time, patients are not made aware of what that particular intervention and therapy is likely to result and patients are confronted with obnoxious and even more agonising fatal complications.I often come across with such patients in our bedside postings where they are struggling more for their sufferings than pain itself.
