hi evryone,
how do we counsel a father who has found out that his son is a gay.
should we say, it is completely natural. a lot ofmales are gay, that is what public health studies indicate.
and any thing else.
we will also have to include counselling for depression.
any suggestions and advise.

I think that no one will go to the doctor with that as a complain. so if the sp mentioned it as aside talk you should gently push him back to his problem. avoid as much as possible to go into any side conversation with the patient but with out being violent for example say
" I understand that this topic bother you so much but now we need to focus on your health condition maybe we will discuss that later
I hope this question is not a part of the real exam, mine is tomorrow

I think that is a good question; finding out that the son is gay could be the trigger to a depression episode or a adjustment disorder, or even HTN, MI or stroke. As a physician, I don't think that you should push that aside, since this could be the cause of his medical problem.
However, since CS doesn't really deal with the treatment, you should not worry too much about that, but you need to show empathy and eventually mention psychotherapy to deal with that issue.

i think this ws in FA...as far as i remember...
we can tell the patient...
"i know its a matter of concern to u...and it might b the ppting factor fr yr current condition...but i wd like u to know tht it is perfectly fine to hv sexual preferences towards the same gender...its bn proven by medical science time n again...but if u want i cd talk to yr son.but since i m not his primary care physician it wd b still better if u bring this issue up wid his physician....your health is my responsibility n i m willing to help u in whtever way possible...so if my talking to yr son wd help u feel better...i cd do so at the next appointment...is tht ok wid u mr.xyz?any other questions?"
pl add on wht u think...exam in 8 days....brrr....
