Some very memorable quotes and instructions in this chapter on "Breaking bad news." Notably,

"Just let it be news" (p82), and

"...if they are still alive, they still have strengths" (p85)

Finished the first half of the book, which introduces psychological concepts, theories, and techniques.

Some of the discussion seems overly superficial or even unnecessary, though this is likely a non-issue, given the limited, or unique, roles most physicians play.
