Giving Bad News: Insights for Medical Practitioners

The way a professional medical staff delivers test or examination results has a huge impact on how a patient or a patient’s family copes with them. What happens, then, if news of a serious condition is delivered over the phone? In a letter? Or even via an answering machine? Drawing on input from actual patients and a variety of healthcare and counseling professionals, this program identifies why such information is sometimes given in an impersonal or detached manner; suggests approaches to compassionate news delivery; and acknowledges that even under the best of circumstances, giving bad news is hard for all concerned. (25 minutes)
