Quotes to Note

"The medical care provided in abortion centers is Alabama is substandard. It is  not required that doctors performing abortions be board certified, have hospital privileges, or carry malpractice insurance.

"No other area of medicine is  practiced under such inadequate guidelines…

"As a physician, I feel ashamed that abortionists practice substandard medicine. As a woman, I am angry we are singled out for such shoddy treatment. So long as abortion is legal, it is negligent on the part of the state to allow this to continue." Maria Johnson, M.D., Pulmonary/Critical Care Medicine

 
Palliative Care Statement PDF Print E-mail

Palliative care is aimed at the relief of suffering and improving the quality of life for persons who are living with or dying from advanced illness or are bereaved.

It affirms life and regards dying as a normal process.

It neither hastens nor postpones death.

It provides relief from pain and other distressing symptoms.

It integrates the psychological and spiritual aspects of patient care.

It offers a support system to help patients live as actively as possible until death.

It offers a support system to help the family cope during the patient's illness and their own bereavement.  

[Canadian Palliative Care Association  www.cpca.net; http://www.physiciansforlife.ca/pallcare.html]
