What is this quality of life I hear about all the time when it comes to medicine and surgery?
The quality of life is a measurement that healthcare professionals use to measure who well or how badly a patient may be doing. Someone who is, medically, having a good quality of life is someone who can move about and do activities without pain or discomfort. Quality of life begins to drop if someone is too ill to get up and enjoy activities, do the groceries, bathe, and so on. When someone is receiving treatment and it's been noticed that they have a poor quality of life before the treatment, the healthcare workers will likely be watching for improvements to see if the quality of life is getting better.
