Crisis medical

Crisis medical sounds like a good term instead of emergency medical. Its root meaning is life and death decision point, and its connotation is people running around under emotional pressure and distress to do or not do something. So it is perhaps the term I should choose more often.

A client who does not want to be helped

Helping a client who does not want to be helped, or who is otherwise stubborn? This approach is useful, I think, as a first try: 1. Foremost, do not try to sell any outcome or value; 2. Move toward specific scenarios and wishes, preferably as a sliding scale; 3. Introduce idea that it is OK to change one’s mind.

What is most important to you now? Leave me alone or health? Being with people you like or being in a place you like? 17 Caring Continua. How can we choose for you if you are in a crisis? Is it ever OK for you to change your mind?
