Abstract
I. Care as the core of healing [figure] 1. The philosophical foundation of care - human integrity of soul and body - 2. The essence of care -sympathy and compassion- II. Medicine for life and death 1. Care and cure - Care looking on the human body as a vessel of sickness - Cure looking on the human body as a substance of disease 2. The unification of primary care and terminal care - every care situation is potentially terminal care - - every care situation is actually primary care - III. The visual point of bioethics 1. Responsibility to others - on response to the sick - inhumanity of reproductive medicine and transplantation medicine - 2. Healing as human activity - absence of death-ethics - - how to live depends on how to die - - difference of the medical death and the departure from this life - IV. Healing for the Sick 1. Care on the self-supporting ability - vis medicatrix naturae, vis moriendi naturae - 2. Care as art - care to support and to comfort the sick - - indispensability of caring documents based on life review therapy - I (the sick) am unable to carry the burden without your support. The doctor cures sometimes, relieves often, but comforts always.
