Care
Care of the loved ones who are critically ill entails time, compassion, empathy, support ( both financial and emotional) be there and so on. In our modern society where life runs at its own rhythm and pace, expectations of such care is curtailed.
Therefore caregivers get burned out. Guilt and inability to provide all the necessities of good care may sequel severe stress, lack of sleep, mental distress and reactive depression.
Physician face the dilemma of treating not only the critically patient but the care givers as well at some point.
This is an interesting topic touching the understanding of cross cultural medicine.
