did YOU, as PHYSICIAN see the risk of suicide and depression solely related to the fact that he is ill?
Even if u see or notice some depression... is it related to current illness or to his SPOUSE DEATH? Assess... and the approach patient... if you see carefully... in both the questions... as a physician we are doing that... 1. Assessing ourseleves the risk 2. We are interacting with patient 3. We are not solely relying on family's wish Bottom line... patient's ultimate health is important! |
