Breaking Bad News
When someone comes in for something as innocuous as low back pain and eventually gets diagnosed as metastatic cancer, you will suddenly feel that life has grabbed you by the neck and flung you down mercilessly into a bottomless pit.It was so unexpected, so unpredictable, so sudden.
And how do you break such news to the patient, when all this time, he/she thinks it was just low back pain.
How can we deal with the torrent of emotions that will pour forth after breaking the news, or even the lack of emotions.
Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance
How do we deal with each stage?
