Compassion is something that one would thing is a given with nursing and the medical system. Compassion is the one thing that is not delivered in a pill, an IV push in a manufactured way. Compassion is genuine. Compassion is ignited from within. Compassion in the one thing that we can give of ourselves to comfort those who are suffering, as we give it, we also receive great benefits in return.
Why is it in our field there is a lack of compassion. In order to provide compassionate care we must have received compassion. As we care for our patients and provide compassion it is equally important that we treat the members of our hospital teams with compassion.
