The Patient As A Person
Sir, —It was interesting and rewarding to read in today’s issue the remarks made by Monsignor Liddy at the annual meeting of the Nurse Maude District Nursing Association. I hope all hospital sisters, especially those engaged in the training of our future nurses, as well as the trained staff of the numerous sections of the nursing profession dedicated to the care of the sick, will have heard this address, or have seen an account of it. Surely, the understanding of and care for the simple things which help to produce a small degree of comfort for the sick and disabled should take preference over mere technical skill, important though this is. Perhaps the nursing profession as a whole should ponder over the question. Are we providing a band of technicians, or a group of women who consider no service too humble in the alleviation of pain and suffering?—Yours, E. M. SIMPSON. June 27, 1966.
