Sometimes people will do this for self preservation,if they are dealing with something serious. They are trying to cope.<br /><br />There are decisions to be made, treatments to go through, a life changing thing is happening to them, and the calls, the going over things, the constant forced listening to someone else as your own mind is reeling, can be too much.<br /><br />You might want to try again, to reconnect. She'd probably love to hear from you.<br /><br />I think those doctors that can remember to put themselves in the patient's shoes, are great. (Not so much that you burn out, but just enough to really relate to your patient.) When things are routine for you, it's very easy to forget that they are not for your patient.Chrysalis https://www.blogger.com/profile/00757696627388704079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7675087351939177300.post-45305531078957858162010-04-19T17:52:07.429-05:002010-04-19T17:52:07.429-05:00Yep, not easy.

I try to hold my patient's hand and give them visual imaging as they are put to sleep. I don't know if it helps but many remember my hand and my voice.BrainDamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05938749719805630693noreply@blogger.com
