Don't Call it a Battle: Why We Need to Change our Metaphors for Serious Illness
We often use words like fighting, battle, and war for illness like cancer, but is it fair? Battles have winners and losers, and our labels destine hard "fighters" to feel like a failure when illness advances. The harm is treatment is continued to the bitter end at any cost: emotionally, socially and financially. Can we do better?
