"Doctor. . .I don't want to die."
The patient? Not even thirty years old.
The concern? Valid.
Because, in this situation, it's a possible outcome. No matter what we do.
Damn.

- Honestly? I write this blog to share the human aspects of medicine + teaching + work/life balance with others and myself -- and to honor the public hospital and her patients--but never at the expense of patient privacy or dignity. Thanks for stopping by! :)

ReplyDeleteIt's never the right time, is it? But sometimes, it's more not the right time than others.
ReplyDeleteOh I know whereof you speak. I work with very young inflammatory breast cancer patients whose journey is almost always too short. When a 34 year old woman with 3 kids (one with Downs syndrome) says, "this isn't good, is it?" I want to say anything but the truth which is... No this is very bad. Very bad indeed. This is the unglamorous, but very real part of our jobs. Damn.
