Such an attribute is thus of great value within healthcare institutions such as general practices and other primary and community healthcare settings. It may characterise the people who participate in those institutions; or, it may not so characterise them. The appearance of compassion, under certain conditions and even in fragile and incomplete forms, is a kind of human excellence, a way of being for the good in community.* Compassion is not, therefore, a commodity, to be bought, sold and traded. Although time can be costed, there is no line for compassion in any budget. Were compassion to be thought a commodity, one could imagine trading it off against some more measurable factor (efficiency, cost-effectiveness, etc.). However, our human capacity for compassion, though fragile, tends to resist such marginalisation and reductionism. 606 $aPrimary Health Care$xethics 606 $aFamily Practice$xethics 606 $aGeneral Practice$xethics 610 $acommunity healthcare 610 $aprimary healthcare 610 $acompassion 610 $aDecision-making 610 $aGeneral practitioner 610 $aShared Experience 615 12$aPrimary Health Care$xethics 615 22$aFamily Practice$xethics 615 22$aGeneral Practice$xethics 676 $a174.2 700 $aHordern$b Joshua$4auth$01449501 702 $aPapanikitas$b Andrew 702 $aSpicer$b John$f1954- 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910765888003321 996 $aHandbook of primary care ethics$93647834 997 $aUNINA
