Question

Human suffering and deaths

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Doctors, their patients, and indeed every human person have, at some time or other, to confront the meaning of suffering. As Pope Saint John Paul II noted, suffering is “almost inseparable from man's earthly existence”

I share an anecdote, partly humorous perhaps, to begin our reflection on the meaning of death. Once while doing a stint in the emergency room, I reviewed a teenage girl who was admitted with tachycardia (a raised heart rate.) I recognized her from a previous visit two weeks earlier when she had presented to the emergency room having dropped a ten-pin bowling ball on her head. She had chosen a ball with finger holes that were too small.
