| description | A neurologist reflects on the unintended heartlessness of keeping a patient with terminal cancer in hospital for further tests at a time when families are not permitted to visit. Peripherally involved in a patient’s care, he witnesses the suffering brought about by pandemic-related visitation restrictions in the final weeks of a patient’s life. In reviewing the course of events with the patient’s widow, the physician has many of his assumptions overturned and more completely grasps the consequences of visitation restrictions on hospitalized patients. |
