Working with families  [Dr. Fowler]: Behind every single death
we have, there is a family in almost every single case who are
going through some of the worst times of their lives so there
are multiple ways that we would interface with the family.
Providing them information, some bereavement counseling,
sometimes describing the disease process which puts them at
risk, dealing with objection to autopsy and multiple insurance
claims, etc. There are multiple ways in which we will actually
have to deal with the family and assist them and it does consume
a significant proportion of our time. Sometimes the interactions
are initiated by us because we need information the family has
and during that process we start trying to support them. Other
times they will initiate the contact to us because of their
needs in that particular case.
