Desire to call families
I’m feeling more and more a desire to call patients and families for follow up and or condolences.
I usually keep charts for a while just to see what happens and sometimes there will be a death or I won’t get a sense of how things are going just from the following records and feel an inclination to call the patient or family to check in or lend condolences.
I feel hesitant to do this and wondering if anyone feels similarly and acts upon this desire?
