* The behaviour of a physician towards patients should be friendly and compassionate to share the unhappiness of disease. The wise physician should affectionately manage the curable disease and be neutral towards the patients tending towards natural death. One should know the limitation that he/she cannot extend the life of a patient in case of natural death. These are the four attitudes while dealing with the patients.[26]

==== Disease and health ====

Dhatu is a collective term signifying all the constituents of a body that sustain its existence.  Seven dhatu (rasa, rakta, mamsa, meda, asthi, majja & shukra), upadhatu like raja etc , three doshas (vata, pitta and kapha) and mala like pureesha etc. Perfect health is achieved when all the seven dhatu , three doshas, upadhatu, and mala function properly (i.e. are in equilibrium or harmony). Health is not mere the absence of disease. Certain diseases like tilakalaka (moles) do not cause any physical discomfort or pain, but they hurt the mind of that person. Therefore here it is specifically mentioned that vikara (disease) is termed as dukkha (unhappiness or source of unhappiness).  Any disequilibrium of dhātu and dosha (according to the time of the day, stage of digestion etc.) that does not affect the happiness of a person cannot be considered a disorder. Establishment of equilibrium of dhatu is the objective of chikitsa. [4]
