The History of Palliative Care姑息关怀史

British doctor Dame1 Cicely Saunders， founded the modern hospice movement which gave rise to palliative care. In 1948， as a 20-year-old nurse in London， she fell in love with a Polish patient who was dying of cancer. He left her £500 to start a home or hospital to relieve the physical and emotional suffering of people who were dying. Determined to understand the best ways of controlling pain， Saunders became a doctor， against a backdrop of evolving attitudes to end-of-life care in Britain and America. An active approach was emerging， as people became more aware of the intimate connections between physical and mental states， and sought new， creative ways to care for people until the very end of their lives—and beyond， in the care of the bereaved.
