During a recent shift in the emergency department, I helped care for a woman facing a suspected oncologic emergency. She had come to the hospital expecting a routine evaluation, but suddenly found herself confronting conversations about diagnoses that could fundamentally change her life.
When I first entered the room, she was visibly nervous. Her family, gathered around the hospital bed, looked equally concerned. I introduced myself and shook her hand. I then shook the hands of the family members standing beside her.
