Would it be wrong of me to write a letter to my psychiatrist for the death of hi!


Question: Would it be wrong of me to write a letter to my psychiatrist for the death of his Mother?
I'm thinking about it now but I dont know if it would do more harm than good. My appointment was canceled tomorrow. My social worker told me his Mom died last week and he flew to India to be with his family and they do not know when he will be returning, so they made my appointment a month later (may 18). I was thinking of writing him a letter just tellin him I'm sorry for his loss and that I know she was very proud of him and his accomplishments and that he's a good guy and I hope he feels better.

Answers:

Doctors are humans and have feelings too. Not many patients remember this (my sister in law is a psychiatrist). I think the letter would be very appropriate and may give him some amount of extra comfort. I think it is a very thoughtful gesture.



I think a letter is too much. Put yourself in his shoes what would you want if you were in his situation.
I suggest you just tell him in person on your next appointment. I think it means more if you just tell him in person.



Get a small card Mario & express sympathy, but give it to his receptionist.
This would be a nice gesture. The receptionist will probably receive more cards from other patients.
The doctor will acknowledge to his patients that he has read them.



That would be a very nice gesture. Just send a sympathy card with a personal message on it.



A brief note or card from you would certainly be meaningful to him.
