Grief

MEDGEEKS
About this episode
Healthcare workers are at the forefront of diseases like pneumonia, COVID19, and heart conditions. But we are also a part of the process of recovery for grief. Grief is the response to loss, particularly to the loss of a loved one or some living thing that has died, to which a bond or affection was formed. The management of grief is not well taught in schools and is usually not explored due to the volume of other subjects. 

To better help our patients recover and transition back to some semblance of normalcy, we must understand what grief feels like, what are its classifications and how it can manifest in patients. Join Dr. Niket Sonpal in this week's podcast in which we delve into this human condition and explore various models to understand our patients' pain. Moreover, we will also discuss what steps we can take to manage their symptoms and their suffering.
