It is stressed in the passage that a patient seeks medical help ----.
When a patient sees a doctor, the patient is seeking
help –- to regain or retain health. The physician's
task is to work for the patient's health. The doctor
does so by treating disease, by relieving discomfort,
by assisting the patient with any disability, by
preventing premature death, and by maximizing
contentment. (Some have summarized these
activities as tackling “the five D's” of health – disease,
discomfort, disability, death, and dissatisfaction).
Often there is success in all these areas. In the best
of circumstances, the doctor is able to prevent
disease and help the patient remain healthy. In other
cases, disease and death defeat us. In some cases
none of the goals are achieved, but even that
outcome must not stop us from trying. By focusing on
the health of the patient, the doctor tests the myriad
activities of clinical medicine against the health
outcome of the patient.
