Person-centred care.

Recently I reflected on an article from Paolo Roberti di Sorsina MD in relation to pain. He suggests that we need to pay more attention to pain as it emerges prior to any decisions about treatment.  It is interesting to note that it is on this point of attribution of the value of pain that determines one’s state of health.   This is because pain is a complex experience, at times invalidating, conditional while  conditioned by the climate, surroundings, diet, social relationships, income and other various factors.

It is interesting to note that while physicians recognise that each  single pathology is constituted by both measurable objective symptoms as well as expressed subjective symptoms by the patient, it is their approach in understanding the interaction between the internal world of perceptions of the patient and the external world in which pain finds justification, that physicians use an approach defined as ‘maieutical’ to help treat the patient and find a cure.

Pain is in reality the experience of pain. A state which escapes demarcation that exists between measured pain and experienced pain, objectivity and subjectivity.  The Charity for Person Centred Medicine-Moral Entity, Bologna, Italy believes that the cure for pain is not directly related with the synergy existent between various work and professional sectors but rather recognises the value of Traditional Medicine, Complementary and Altnerative that has a proven efficacy to plan a cure for people through non reductionist approaches.  The World Health Organisation has decreed this many years ago.
