Instead of a flat no thank you he said, "I like classical music," rather emphatically. Just how hard should you try to convince a very ill or dying person to try something new, something you think might enrich their lives?

a very interesting question - what's the answer? I would tend to take it one person at a time, assessing the atmosphere, but I know nothing so...

I would make the most of the situation, be friendly and make a timely exit saying you would see him another time.

There is no real answer..........you are right. One patient at a time, one situation at a time. Gently, ego parked at the door for the response. I can't wait fr you to see how this turns out.

Wow, that is a delicate situation. Those dying deserve dignity and respect even if their judgment is fogged with painkillers, depression or whatever reason they don't appear to be their "normal" selves.There is no one answer that fits all. I am glad to see you bring that question up because it shows massive consideration on your part. With that attitude, you'll still make mistakes but I suspect you will be forgiven at worse and appreciated for your efforts, whatever they are. Leave a Reply. |
