GIVING BAD NEWS

Doctor : Good morning sir, I am dr. Zhorif the doctor who last week also took care of you ...

And today, we continue what we have done from the last meeting yes sir ...

So, how do you feel when you hear that your results have come out, sir?

Patient : yes doc, my feeling is happy, doc But on the other hand also afraid of the results doc.

Doctor : how did you sleep last night was it sound?

Patient : no doc, thinking about the results of this examination doc

Doctor : Now, do you already know what the disease is, sir?

Patient : It's still not clear doc, but I wonder if I have HIV, because of the symptoms I've been
feeling so far doc ...

Doctor : calm down sir, whatever the result, we will do maximum handling for you,

Now in today's meeting I also intend to explain something which I have to say. So that in the future the
treatment can be better and you can also undergo therapy more calmly. Yes sir yes

Now I understand your feelings at this time, you must be very anxious about waiting for the results of
this examination. Now from our existing data, what you feel is that it leads to an immune disease.

Oh yes sir, did you come here with your family or alone, sir?

Patient : Yes, I am with my wife

Doctor : Can I just ask his wife to come in, sir?

Patient : Yes, sir

Doctor : So, sir, I am worried that the news that I will convey is bad news. But I have to keep
telling you. So sir, your test results show that you are positive for HIV. Indeed, that is the pain you are
getting right now, according to your feelings

How do you feel now?

Patient : Don’t know doc, i have no words to convey my feelings doc how do I doc? Can't I do
anything else ??
Doctor : I understand how you feel now. But sir, Allah will not bring down a disease, if there is no
antidote, sir, and you don't need to worry, because we will do the best possible treatment for you,
please continue to pray and ask the Almighty for your healing ..

Patient : But doc can I recover?

Doctor : Because this depends on your immune system, you don't feel stressed and don't feel
alone, don't close yourself down because of this, you have to be enthusiastic because the feelings you
wake up will motivate you to heal, and don't get depressed thinking about your illness. We will do our
best, and you will also do your best, from you. Because people think HIV is a disgrace, it is very
important support from the family to continue, sir, are you willing, ma'am?

Patient Wife : Ready doc

Patient : What can I do now doc?

Doctor : So, you will certainly do therapy for you, if you allow it, before that, are you willing to
carry out a series of treatments and therapies here, sir?

Patient : I want a doc, I want it as long as I can recover doc

Doctor : Yes sir, we both do the best and keep our spirits up, sir, God willing, Allah will give
healing to you.
