Doctor reveals he goes through dead patients' social media profiles before giving bad news to relatives
Louis M Profeta, a medical expert who works at St Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis, claims that checking social media profiles of the dead helps him deliver bad news better
Telling someone a family member of theirs has died, has to be one of the hardest things on the planet. But that just gets even tougher and way more difficult when the deceased in question is a child and one has to deliver the bad news to the parents because it's part of their profession.
Explaining how difficult a task it is, a doctor recently opened up in a candid post about the impact such a news can have on the receiving end and also how looking at Facebook profiles of dead patients has actually helped him in his own task of delivering the bad news.
