La medicina paliativa es una concepción muy antigua y complementaria de la medicina curativa y constituye una terapia de soporte muy importante cuya aplicación no se limita a los enfermos en fase terminal. [...] En medicina paliativa, el objeto de estudio es el enfermo y el respeto de su dignidad durante la enfermedad [...] La medicina paliativa forma parte de una concepción antropomédica que considera al paciente un ente integral que consulta al médico en busca de remedio, pero para dar con el tratamiento correcto, es indefectible concebirlo en un marco holístico, es decir, considerando las consecuencias físicas, psíquicas, económicas y sociales del mismo. 3, record 1, Spanish, - medicina%20paliativa
