    Journal: Langenbecks Arch Chir Suppl II Verh Dtsch Ges Chir; 1989; ():137-40. PubMed ID: 2577534.
    Abstract:
    Permanent loss of physical or mental abilities in the course of disease or trauma changes a person's lifestyle, causes uncertainty and cancels general standards. The patient feels a diminishment of his quality of life and becomes aware of being a living creature. He must not despair. He needs help to come to terms with his illness. What has he lost? What has remained? What are his new possibilities? In his search for a new concept of life he should not be left alone. This is a task for a good doctor.
