Sometimes a small gift is part of the treatment of the patient Muhammad Reza Zaparkandi, Minister of Health, Treatment and Medical Education, wrote on his personal page in cyberspace: I didn't just read ethics in books; I learned this from the supervisor who showed me the great meaning of treatment in a simple way at Sinai Hospital. When a child was admitted to her ward, this nurse would sometimes buy a small doll with her own money and give it to the child the next morning. To others, it may have been just a doll, but to this boy, it was a sign of love, security and memory. I learned from that nurse that treating a patient is not just doing the duty and following the treatment instructions. Sometimes a small gift, a smile, a comforting word or a few moments of attention are part of the treatment; A part that may not be recorded in the patient's file, but will remain in his and his family's memory. The health system needs the forces that excel in science and expertise and see people beyond their illness. If I talk about ethics in nursing today, I still consider myself a student of those humble teachers who taught us the meaning of being humane and caring without giving formal lessons.
