Something the doctor could have added around 04:00 would be to compliment the parents on their decision to bring the son in. "I'm so glad you brought him in right away, that was the right thing to do / you may have saved his life / [whatever is appropriate]." That would at least reassure them that they're actively involved in their son's care, which they are.

I've worked with surgeons for 30 years, some are amazing surgeons but dont have the best bedside manner. However, striking the balance of being clear and precise but not patronising is a fine line which comes with experience. The best thing to remember is that we treat our patients how we would wish to be looked after ❤

[@sarahcrain8083]

This hits home. May 31, 1992 I told my son's neurologist that my four year old son had a brain tumor. Safe to say, by the look on the doctor's face. He thought I had lost it because nothing would control my son's seizures. Follow up MRI confirmed my greatest fear. The diagnosis was epidermal brain tumor. Surgery was done on August 10, 1992. It turned out to be a right cerebullar pontine angle arachnoid cyst. MRIs could not distinguish solid masses from cyst. Had I not spoken up, where the cyst was located, without surgery would have been fatal. It was compressing the brain stem, 6 cranial nerves and the pons at the base of his brain. Today my son is thirty. Just tested for his level 2 red belt in Teakwondo. God is good! To God be the glory! Amen.

[@FeralWench]

Unfortunately, I've experienced these two types of doctors. When I was very young, I needed surgery on my foot due to my disability, and required a cast for a few weeks after. When the doctors took off my cast, my big toe was very dark and looked like it had become infected or the skin died. Of course, my mother freaked out and he briefly told her that they'd try to heal the area but he wasn't sure if it would need to be amputated. My mother was in so much shock, that she had a hard time controlling her emotions (as any mother would). As the doctor left my room, we heard him mutter, "I don't care if she loses her fucking toe". Imagine saying that about a scared little girl who just wanted to be able to walk. Fortunately, with the help of some very nice nurses, they were able to save my toe. Some of these doctors are very heartless.

[@johngolden891]

Very helpful video. The comparison makes it easy to how the second approach provides the same "bad news", but is so much easier for the patient's parents to absorb.

[@wakeupscreaming9883]

I never understand why health providers ask "do you have any questions?", especially when patients or family have just been bombarded with completely shocking news. My own personal situation -- my doctor told me after an echo of my heart, that my heart wouldn't last beyond 50 years old. Of course I broke down crying, because it was like being told a death sentence. He sort of FORGOT TO TELL ME that there are ways to treat heart disfunction (my heart ejection fraction was around 15%) -- transplants, medication, diet and lifestyle change, etc. I thought I'd be dead by the age of 50. He didn't tell me there were options when he told me this. You don't have questions, because you don't really know what you're dealing with.

[@mikezappulla4092]

wakeupscreaming we ask if you have questions because it is a part of establishing and open dialect between the provider and patient. Of course you might not know what to ask in that moment and sometimes the news is overwhelming to some patients but that willingness to open those lines of communication needs to be made and made as easily as possible. Also, it's helps us gauge how much you want to here, how well you understand it, and also how much information we should dump on the patient.

The way he said it was so malicious it was like a gut check to both of us.

I got to the hospital and walked up to the nurse’s station, introduced myself to the nurse and explained why I was there. I was also alone. She held up a finger and made me wait while she finished some paperwork. Then she put down her pen, looked up at me, and said “He passed away”. I broke out in tears and sobs. She shushed me and pushed me into his room. I wish I had gotten her name and reported her. This was cold, disrespectful, and uncompassionate. I needed a little support and she blew me off.

[@simplyme7821]

This video really hits home with me. Five years ago, I woke up and I found my husband crawling around on the floor. I had no idea what had happened to him. He was out of it so, I called an ambulance. My daughter drove me up to the hospital and by then they had done an MRI. I was standing by the foot of his bed and the head neurosurgeon introduced himself to me. I asked him what had happened and he said that my husband had hit his head and it was bleeding and his brain was swelling. I asked him where it was bleeding and he said that it was more of a shotgun pattern and that he was bleeding in more than 25 places. He said he stopped counting at 25. Then he asked me if I had any questions. My husband was slipping into a coma by the minute. I asked, do you need to do surgery? He said, no. His brain is bleeding in too many places and there's nothing I can do. Any other questions? The head neurosurgeon and I were now sitting eye-to-eye. He looked impatient but, I would not break eye contact with him so, he just sat there. We looked into each other's eyes for a good 2 minutes and then I said to him, has anyone ever woken up from this kind of injury? He stared into my eyes and he shook his head no. Then he got up and walked to the door. I looked over at him as he was just about to leave the room and I yelled across the room, then you don't know God and you don't know Mark! He just walked out and shut the door. They took him out of Surgical ICU and put him in another room. I came every morning at 7 a.m. and I left every night at 7 p.m. Every day, his body was making phlegm that was thicker than rubber cement and he was choking on it. I saw the nurse take a long suction tube to clear his throat and the tube got clogged immediately. Then she just left the room. He started choking every 5 minutes and when the nurse came in I asked her how to unclog the pipe. She handed me a cup of hot water and said, put it in there and it will clear the tube. I stood next to him and suctioned him every single time he started choking for 12 hours a day. At night, I would tell the nurse that I would be back in a few hours and not to call me and say he died because I would know he choked to death. After 4 days, they finally realized that this man was loved and I wasn't going anywhere. They rushed him back to the SICU and put him on a ventilator. All I had to do was to go back everyday and talk to him. I asked God to heal him. I never saw the neurosurgeon again. They were just waiting for him to die. I kept saying, I love you, please open your blue marble eyes. And, 3 weeks later, he opened his eyes. They said he would never walk again and if he did to bring him back because he would be like Lazarus. I woke up one morning 6 months later and he was coming in the back door. I asked him what he was doing and he said he had mowed back lawn. They said he would be a vegetable. I started out doing 12-piece Snoopy puzzles with him and a year later he was reading me the Estheology of Religion and explaining it to me. I know I spelled that wrong. Anyway, I experienced the wrong way to tell somebody that someone is going to die. Given no hope, I went and found my own hope. That was years ago and unfortunately a year ago on his birthday, he went in the kitchen and I didn't hear him so, I went in to see him. I found him on his knees. I laid him down and said I love you. His eyes were round and blue and he mouthed, I love...and, he died with my hands on his chest. I have been all alone ever since. But, if I had listened to that doctor and given up years earlier, I would have missed the best years of our life together. If you read this far, thank you. I miss my best friend. Sincerely, Carly 💜

There is power in the name Jesus. My youngest son was in a near fatal car crash November 2021. He broke both his legs punctured his liver and he had braing trauma but he was responsive. The next day he had surgery when he came out of surgery he had a stroke. The doctor who spoke with us first was very cold the second doctor was a young African American she was so nice and comforting she told me my son may not walk or talk again he was unresponsive after the stroke and she told me she was going to pray for my son because he was too you for that. I prayed my mom prayed my whole family prayed. The next day my son started trying to move his legs his dad told his to be still because they were broken. He said clear as day" I broke my legs". We all started crying hearing my baby's voice made me know there was hope. They wanted to send him to a nursing home but I sad nope I brought my baby home and two months later he was walking and back to his self. His memory is a little sketchy sometimes but he is ok. The police said he was thrown from the vehicle but my son said some helped him out the car and called 911 and stayed with him but left when the heard the sirens get close. I wish I can find that person and give them my gratitude.

Its is a great opportunity to view these two reactions to this situation. Despite the best intentions of the physician there can still be gaps in the support system for patients and their families. As part of the integrated health care team, a Patient Navigator would be beneficial to support this family and could aid in filling the voids. Initially with a new diagnosis many people are so shocked and do not have the ability to absorb information in the moment. Having a follow up meeting with the family would provide a good opportunity to provide necessary support and answer questions. Keeping language simple and avoiding medical terms is important. When engaging in this conversation it is important for the Navigator to only discuss news that the family and patient already know. New concerns could be followed up in a timely manner, by the navigator, with the primary care provider. Each person handles stressors so differently so really taking the time for active listening and summarizing information is important. Sometimes diagrams and drawings may aid in the review of the situation. The navigator can provide reassurance and be available for ongoing support throughout the journey.

If a doctor would talk to me like this - „Nah,nah it‘s a brain tumor. Bazinga, shit happens!“ - I would throw him out the next window! 🤣

[@danash5460]

I mean I kept checking is this a movie or something!! Oscar for the mom please! !

[@vynsanthemum]

today i learned that because of my autism-induced flat affect and the fact that "what not to do" looks like something that would come perfectly natural to me, i should not be a doctor.

[@aesirgaming1014]

Meh, I'd do death notifications the same way we did them in the military. Quick, formulaic, concise and to the point. Everyone gets the same information, delivered the same way quickly and without any frills or chance to gain false hope. Best way to do it. Some nurses and doctors I work with are too concerned with trying to soften the impact. If you're telling someone they or their loved one is going to die, there's no real way to lessen that impact. Get it out quick, clear and concise so they can start processing and planning.

Imagine a doctor telling a man that his mother had a brain tumor in much the same way as the doctor in this first example. Then imagine that same doctor telling that same man on his next visit that the tumor had somehow miraculously disappeared, again in that same emotionless tone. It happened. I was that man and the mother was mine.

[@theassening4563]

maybe it's the acting or me trying to empathise with an absurd situation, but I just burst out laughing when the second approach was used

[@jannelbarraza6784]

Wonderful job everyone 👏 👍 🙌 👌 😀 ❤️ 👏 👍 🙌 🙏🙏🙏🙏💪💪💛💛💛💛

My grandpa died from cancer all of his body in the brain and everything in his body last week

[@67DUTCHMAN]

Don't encourage this hysterical woman to go right to denial. Just tell her the raw, clear truth.

[@davidvillarreal547]

The first time he came in. Very rude. Absurd. 2nd time perfect

[@westcoastorbust2462]

As a black woman this treatment is the norm. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@johngrey1074]

Oh, please.

[@decave]

“Nah it’s a brain tumor but uh oh sorry gotta run bye”

[@NickanM]

*_The bad doc had a nice twin!_*

[@minakoa7178]

Good actors!!! Wow.

[@cskiles318]

Wow In the beginning I thought this was real. My sister had heart surgery her St was that way. Lung de said on day 5 she will not live heart dr be like she be ok she walk-in she will walk out. After 10 more surgeries all organ failure 33 day’s later she died. Dr never spoke to her husband. Again said nothing. The nurses had to step in and over ride the dr. So awful

[@coopsevy5664]

Doctors need to stop misleading patients, people have the right to know, why do the patient need to ask questions when we are clueless that's why we come to a doctor.

[@vleak76]

Never have been a fan of Duke. The first scenario in my opinion, is pretty close to the experiences I’ve had of my own and family members. Do you think he could have showed the scan to the family so they can actually see it?

[@JS-qg1ie]

I thought the first approach was better. Much more direct and time efficient. Either way the mum is in tears and jimmy still dies a very painful death.

[@67DUTCHMAN]

No matter how you deliver bad news, women will always get hysterical.

[@lohphat]

In a survey of children diagnosed with autism the #1 profession of one of the parents is medicine, followed by engineering, then programming/tech. I think the demonstrated lack of empathy demonstrated by many doctors may bear this out.

[@Lady_Clev]

I cried you know.... And then suddenly i realize it was an act... Now i LOLed

[@Chris-lq5vg]

Didn’t really seem like the doctor was giving them the option on whether to do the surgery or not do the surgery.It sounded like the the doc and hospital were telling the parents that their son is getting the surgery whether you want him to have it or not

[@NorthStarPNW]

What would they give parents the option to do surgery? They're not medical experts. The doctor has a legal duty to provide the care that the medical profession has determined is appropriate for this situation, if he didn't he would lose his license. The parents authorized the hospital to provide appropriate care when they brought their son in. We don't get to order a la carte medical procedures like we're at MacDonald's.

[@HollyJolly819]

I'm shocked with doctors lack of empathy

[@Ant-qh1wx]

The first part is like a Gus Johnson skit

[@eddiedaniels1555]

You know I really hate watching things like this. But its all reality, We all get the bad news when the time comes. But it always gets to me

[@antonkider5872]

Bad doctor forgot to say that the kid only has a 5% of chances to survive the surgery.
