Acute endocarditis is a lethal hazard in haemodialysis patients

The doctor, in his eagerness to be a true professional, must dedicate body and soul to his daily studies, with absolute concentration, with total dedication, with passionate love, to be gentle, considerate, passionate about giving health to a person who does not need it. He has to look into the eyes of the patient, listen to his suffering, touch his whole body, examine every millimetre or millimetre that is necessary. To seek an accurate diagnosis on the basis of a sacrifice, which, however extreme it may be, must always be a pleasure and a realisation of joy in God. Everything must be remunerated, but the blessing of God and the bio-psycho-social well-being of the patient must be an infinite remuneration. The sick person should always be seen as a beloved, adorable relative, who needs your kindness, your dedication, your lucidity in every action. You must give him confidence and support. He must feel in you what you are his sacred doctor. Don't use your clothes to show off what you are, love your neighbour, be humble, simple. Treat the sick person with correct and understandable words. Show your sincere affection and concern for his healing, Don't look at his pocket, look at his illness and healing, look at his bio-psycho-social satisfaction. With love.
