    Doctors are human. Do we forget because we’re in a clinical environment and do not remember they aren’t a god, and definitely not infallible? We both might try to avoid or sugarcoat a pill like this situation. It’s scary. Reminding: we have the right to quiz our doctor, our medical co-pilot. Reminding: no one is infallible and doctors witness pain and confusing situations every day, and treatments might be unique per person.

    I think silence is very useful. This is a short video to show what should be done and they didn't have time to pause - also this is for an OSCE which is not the greatest way to test bedside competency imo. I feel like if my doctors give me time to process and think, I like them a lot more! It's natural to feel awkward when telling someone they don't have a lot longer to live and to fill that awkwardness with talking. But silence can be very powerful and the patient will fill it by expressing things that they wouldn't have otherwise.

    Imo since this a coaching video I think the Dr did not show adequate empathy. 2ndly she was in a hurry to break the bad news especially after she mentioned that she got bad news. She should have given the man some few more minutes before the actually bad news and few minutes afterwards the actual bad news. She did not check the man's understandimg of what is 'bowel cancer ' The emotional state of the man may not have warranted to continue progressive engagements such that it may require another visit with a significant support person to talk about the way forward in a way he and or the partner will comprehend better

    These are made for OSCE exams, you get around 7mins per station and this is a possible scenario. So the process of breaking bad news has to be time-efficient with all relevant information given to the patient while showing whatever empathy possible in 7mins, then once the station is done its onto the next (even if you feel emotionally annihilated)! Of course in real life you would spend more time to create more space for the patient to process the news and emotions.

    I had my annual physical recently and after my doctor’s office got back the results, they said _“she wants you to come back to go over the results.”_ I feel totally fine though and last year they just told me to take 2,000 IU of Vitamin D. So now I’m like, _“WTF is this all about?!”_ So now I’m watching all these videos in case the doctor wants to deliver me some ‘bad news.’ I’ll be ready. My doctor won’t see me sobbing like this poor old bird. Might as well make it easy on the practitioner. I would just need enough time to get my affairs in order, then wait for the inevitable.

    The only problem I see with some of these training videos is that they keep making it seem like getting diagnosed with cancer is a death sentence or that otherwise the situation is hopeless. I mean, by the time someone has gotten to the age of this bloke, the idea of getting diagnosed with cancer should have already crossed his mind. He didn’t think he was going to live forever, did he? When you get diagnosed with a bacterial infection, the doctor just says, “Here’s some antibiotics … blah, blah, blah.” And off you go. But these are all the loss-leader treatments. The medical industry keeps us healthy until we come down with something serious which kicks a whole bunch of professions into high gear and keeps the medical industry turning. At least he’ll get the chance to say ‘goodbye’ to everyone he loves before the Final Hour.
