Compassion.

Compassion. Clin Med. 2015 Apr;15(2):121-4 Authors: Saunders J Abstract The term 'compassion' has been much used and little discussed. I argue that compassion is a virtue in the Aristotelian sense, one of a family of other-regarding properties and belongs to the affective qualities of a moral agent. Its exercise is an essential component of good medical care in many situations and requires grounding in moral principles. Although our dispositions vary, compassion is a quality that can be developed in all of us. PMID: 25824061 [PubMed - in process]
