| Summary: | This article is intended to highlight the unique vulnerability associated with a severe medical illness. It outlines important considerations that are relevant to patients but perhaps especially relevant to medical providers. There are many factors that contribute to recovery from a life-threatening illness. Essential, but underestimated, factors include (1) a vision for what the meaning of your life can be; (2) simple and unexpected acts of kindness that underscore the commitment of your providers to your well-being; and (3) the character of providers and the culture of the institution, which vary tremendously and are palpable to the patient. |
