I must appaud this hospital in noting in the comments that told this pt about the event once the pt was recovered and alert enough to take it all in. How upsetting for all involved pt, family and staff but how much easier for all involved that from the begining the thought was to allow the pt to become alert enough to take it in and support begun. As we work to encourage disclosure and support I must express to the physicans, staff involved that this step alone will begin to help this pt cope and in the end also help allto move through this process..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3657976453804122469.post-73607213101994088372008-07-01T13:41:00.000-04:002008-07-01T13:41:00.000-04:00Thank you for your comment, Miss Deb.

The fewer the people you talk to, the more control you have over your time. That's the way I interpret that behavior anyway. "Lack of time" has become some sort of anthem in health care today. People sing it constantly. Its supposed to be explanation and excuse for behavior that sends the opposite message of compassion and support. It's time we started singing a new song.<BR/><BR/>Miss DebAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11416385420530760525noreply@blogger.com
