Doctor, Dentist, Surgeon, Nurse, Therapist:

From the Charter for Health Care Workers (1995) published by the Pontifical Council for Pastoral Assistance to Health Care Workers: "The Catholic physician's profession requires them to be a custodian and server of human life.... This is their mission, and is the fruit of a call or vocation that the physician hears, personified in the suffering and invoking face of the patient who trusts in their care. Here the physician's mission to give life is linked to the life of Christ, who came to give life and to give it in abundance. (Jn. 10:10) Through their therapeutic ministry, physicians thus share in the pastoral and evangelizing action of the Church. (Pontifical Council for Pastoral Assistance to Health Care Workers 1995)
