do the doctors really feel bad when patients die i n their hands?

Answer 1

as a medical student...yes...do coaches feel bad when they lose? do policemen feel bad when they dont protect their neighborhood? do good teachers feel bad when someone fails? beyond it being their job, they are trying to save this person, and not just to save them, but for their family. most doctors take it very personally when they are unable to save someone because they put themselves in the other person's shoes and know how their own family would feel if they didnt come home from the hospital. beyond the jackass surgeons who get pissed because it messes up their stats, all doctors care about their patients whether they show it or not. if they broke down into tears everytime something bad happened, not a whole lot would get done. its the professionalism that they convey that is often perceived as not caring. they are also desensitized to death because it happens so often, so they are able to handle themselves in the saddest of situations. and anybody that goes through med school and doesnt care about their patients has a serious problem because med school sux @$$ as I am still up since 6 yesterday morning thanks to gross anatomy.

Answer 2

Yes I think so. If they have treated that person for a long time, with a doubt they do. They have over time formed a relation ship. So of course they do. Would U feel bad if U were the doctor & someone that trusted & counted on you died after U did everything U could for them? Hope this helps or at least gave U something 2 think about.

Answer 3

I have seen doctors sob when a patient dies and they are there. People think that doctors aren't human with real feelings. When one particular doctor apologized for crying, I told her I would be more upset if she ever lost that compassion. There is plenty of that going around too. Nothing makes me more sad than a doc with no compassion.
