Traditionally, in educational programs for health care practitioners, courses of study have placed more emphasis on curative care than on palliative care. Since most physicians are taught to fight disease with every product and technique at their command, it is sometimes difficult for them to recognize or admit that curative care has failed or is no longer effective in treating a patient's disease. Through use of palliative care, health care providers can help relieve a dying patient's pain and emotional distress and ease the journey toward life's end.
