EMPATHY IS RARE COMMODITY

 


Today when I went to review a patient inward.

Incidentally, I saw a few nurses with a junior doctor was rushing to attend to a semiconscious elderly patient. At the side of the patient was a worried man. I assume her husband was standing.

I was shocked to see the nurses and the junior doctor chasing the distressed man in a crude and abusive way with no empathy for him as if he got no worth.

He was pleading with them of the wife’s condition in tears.


No one has the soft skill to attend and counsel the distressed man or walk him out. He was in tears and upset.


It was saddening to be and see the pathetic situation. I had to guide the distressed man out to console while the medical personnel resuscitating the patient,

I agree we want to safe life but not to the extent of forgetting the living which is next to the patient with feelings and attachment towards the patient.


Perhaps the patient who we are resuscitating may not pull through. But the husband or loved ones will carry the pain of ill-treatment by the medical personnel.
