Suffering and diseases raise questions related to the meaning of life as well as to the physician and the nurse’s predicament. For one thing, diseases are third-personal, objective, external medical phenomena, while the patient’s inner story of his illnesses is first-personal and subjective. People begin to value life when it appears to be draining away. The question of the meaning of life is a default position. For another, what makes the doctor’s or the nurse’s situation tragic is that tragedy is in the eye of the observer not in the heart of the sufferer.

摘要

Suffering and diseases raise questions related to the meaning of life as well as to the physician and the nurse’s predicament. For one thing, diseases are third-personal, objective, external medical phenomena, while the patient’s inner story of his illnesses is first-personal and subjective. People begin to value life when it appears to be draining away. The question of the meaning of life is a default position. For another, what makes the doctor’s or the nurse’s situation tragic is that tragedy is in the eye of the observer not in the heart of the sufferer.
