Notifying a death in medicine
Notifying a death in medicine is a scholarly work, published in 2018 in ''Nursing & Care Open Access Journal''. The main subjects of the publication include medicine, palliative care, and Choosing Wisely. The notification of death is one of the most difficult tasks for doctors, getting family members to understand the situation and being able to contain their emotions is a skill that is little developed by doctors.In view of this, authors propose a communication model of the death of the patient in four steps described by the PHD MD José Félix Saavedra Ramírez, Specialist in Integrated Medicine.3 Which are described as: 1) Preparation of the interview, 2) Find out how much you know about the condition, 3) Report the event in detail, 4) Freeing the family of emotional charge.
