Preparation and Coping of Medical Practitioners When Dealing With Terminal Patients

This paper will use various sociological publications
based on research to investigate and analyze the relationship
between medical practitioners and patients
deemed terminal. Some topics the paper will include
how prepared practitioners feel they are in terms of
interacting with terminal patients, as well as the personal
methods of coping with grief that practitioners
implement into their private lives and their effects on
the professional lives of practitioners. There will also
be questions raised regarding how the preparation
of practitioners both in and out of medical school can
be improved or built on to ensure patient satisfaction
and enhanced interactions between the practitioner
and their patient.
