All replies on post-natal visits helpful, thank you.
Next interest is bereavement visits.
This follows reading the BMJ letters this am in response to Colin Murray
Parkes article a while back.
One view was that they are an intrusion, medicalising a situation
unnecessarily.
It is one thing to visit when you have been looking after the deceased
for terminal care, but what about other situations?
I feel reasonably comfortable visiting on the first or second day, but
if any later I am afraid of arriving iduring the wake or at some other
inconvenient time.
If you phone first then there is little left to say when you actually do
visit.
I know of one practice that have a calling card they send to the
relative.
Any ideas?
