This I believe ... about the care of human beings
Article Abstract:
Nurses should look to the philosophy of total healing behind holistic medicine and realize their role in helping to heal patients both physically and spiritually. The growing interest in holistic and alternative medicine reflects the public's dissatisfaction with the speed and finance-focused practices of traditional Western medicine. Rather than treating the symptom of a greater problem, holistic medicine emphasizes all aspects of a person's mind, history, body, outside influences, and spirit.

Criminal liability should be reserved for intentional or reckless behavior. Reasons behind a significant percentage of serious treatment errors may also lie in complications associated with health care reorganization.
