Personal Response Journal, Entry#2:
When Morrie and his wife Charlotte go to the neurologist’s office in "The Syllabus," the doctor has terrible news to tell them: Morrie has Lou Gehrig’s disease and he is going to die. This is certainly devastating news for the Schwartzes. Doctors are, of course, professionals, but it still must be difficult for them to deliver such bad news. How would you handle this situation if you were a physician? What advice would you have for doctors who at this moment might have to deliver sad news to a patient?
