TY - JOUR T1 - Grief in health care professionals: When screening for major depression is needed—reply AU - Granek L Y1 - 2012/12/10 N1 - 10.1001/jamainternmed.2013.2096 JO - Archives of Internal Medicine SP - 1768 EP - 1769 VL - 172 IS - 22 N2 - Grief over patient loss is a normal, pervasive, and expected part of the work of oncologists that can last longer than 2 weeks and can overlap with symptoms of depression.1 Medical institutions should provide space, training, resources, and time to cope with this difficult but expected part of oncologist's work at every stage of their career. Grief is not a pathologic condition. It is natural and normal response to loss in every context where there was an attachment to the deceased.
