In a Bad Case

I promised I would post something yesterday night but I had a fever and my throat is so painful. I can’t even get out of bed because my body’s aching too. Hay, I just wish I was at home. Things could have been easier. Masarap din naman kasi ang binibeybi! Hehehe. Good thing I have Tere and Kuya Mak as company.

Anyway, I think I’m ok now; I had my oatmeal for breakfast.

So what was my idea for a post last night? Hmmm…

Were there times that you just wished you heard a bad news and someone else would tell it to you instead of you hearing them first handedly? Maybe it’s a matter of guts that you have to face whatever you must have to face and accept. But there are times you wished a friend or a family was there at the same time they can comfort you.

When I was a freshman here my professor told me that you have to consider the gravity of the situation in case you have to deliver a bad news to an individual. If the situation will affect the family members and/or the community, it is the right for the family members to know. In that way they can help in the treatment process for the patient. Also you have to consider the age of the patient and their state of mind.

But in real life situation, you always have to be prepared and ready.
