Doctor 2And that's a really good example of how not to break bad news to someone.

I really hope this didn't actually happen.
However if it did, I am encouraged that I think I can be better at breaking bad news.
It happened. Once the treating team decides the patient is a jerk, stand back. It can get ugly.
