Goodbyes

From the Department of Family Medicine, University of North Carolina School of Medicine, Chapel Hill

Correspondence: Corresponding author: Adam Goldstein, MD, Department of Family Medicine, University of North Carolina School of Medicine, CB 7595, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 (E-mail: aog{at}med.unc.edu)

When my patients die, I am reminded always of all they taught me during our time together. Over the years, I have begun writing clinical obituaries to better celebrate their lives, to inform staff of their passing, and as a means to teach colleagues and students about a healthy way, as physicians, of dealing with patient deaths.
