TY - JOUR T1 - How do we cope with death? JF - The Journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners JO - J R Coll Gen Pract SP - 33 LP - 36 VL - 27 IS - 174 AU - P. M. J. Tombleson AU - M. P. Garsed Y1 - 1977/01/01 UR - http://bjgp.org/content/27/174/33.abstract N2 - We hope that general practitioners will consider counselling their dying patients more actively, including those in hospital where terminal care may be poorly handled psychologically. This entails a major change in training which we hope is taking place through vocational training schemes. We feel a change in attitude to be necessary by many general practitioners who often deal with death by evasion and untruth. ER -
