PDS, or professional development spine, is the bane of our lives. Today we learnt about bereavement after miscarriage or perinatal death. We saw a very interesting video about a couple who had a termination for serious foetal abnormality. The video was good, but the session before, more than an hour long, was not.
Medical students definitely need to be aware of the serious emotional distress experienced by women and their families after a death, but we're not morons, I promise! We spend a lot of time learning how to avoid becoming robots. We resent time we see as wasted going over and over the different theories of bereavement reaction, when the information has been covered before and could be laboured a lot less. Make it specific for heavens sake. I really wanted to be home before 6:30 today, but no.
