  • Title: Surviving survivors. Coping with caring for patients who have been victimized.
    Author: McKegney CP.
    Journal: Prim Care; 1993 Jun; 20(2):481-94. PubMed ID: 8356165.
    Abstract:
    Caring for survivors of victimization is very hard work, in ways that are similar to and different from other difficult patient interactions. Careful attention to basic physiologic and psychological needs of the physicians is necessary to tolerate the stress and to prevent the burnout that can accompany this work. In addition, understanding survivors' interpersonal dynamics may help physicians provide better care. Consultation with colleagues is essential to remaining healthy and effective as givers of care.
