Abstract
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to medical situations can come in several forms. The most widely recognized is due to illness and accident. Less recognized and less easily understood is the PTSD that can occur due to medical treatment, regardless of whether that treatment was done well and correctly. Clinicians can take a few basic steps to respond professionally and compassionately to a treatment-traumatized patient’s needs.
