2-25. THE OPERATING ROOM SPECIALIST AND BEREAVEMENT

 

Another consideration that must be taken into account is the OR specialist's handling of bereavement. Any person who works in a hospital may be called upon to deal with a bereaved person. The dynamics of bereavement and grief are essentially the same whether the loss is of a person, a limb, or simply of the powers that make one able to maintain his normal routine. While these are the same in their dynamics, there is obviously a variation in the depth of the experience. Whatever the depth of loss, the OR specialist may find himself frequently in a position of helping people cope with grief in a constructive way.
