Illness can have multiple victims
Yesterday was an hectic day.I went to 2 kampungs for housecalls.its just not the patient should be treated,the whole family and relatives are at risk.
Aparts from examining the patient,i realised that when a serious illness strikes in a family,attention is directed as it should be,on helping the patient who is suffering.Unfortunately in that effort,oftentimes the needs of the family as a whole and individuals within the family are neglected.
Its important to recognise that when a particular family member in a great need,the rest of the family will have special needs coping with their fears and stresses of having having the family balance upset.
