| Annotation | Kindness, humanity and respect - the core values of medical professionalism - are too often being overlooked in the time pressured culture of modern health care. The A, B, C, and D of dignity conserving care - attitude, behaviours, compassion and dialogue - can reinstate these essential qualities. This A, B, C, and D of dignity conserving care has as its origin a paper in 1927, "The care of the patient" by Francis Peabody. (RH). |
