Family Physician Responsibilities<br />
“The responsibilities of the family physician<br />
do not end with the death of the patient.<br />
Through careful and accurate completion of<br />
death certificates, the family physician can<br />
help <strong>to</strong> ensure that the far-reaching<br />
consequences of the patient’s death are as<br />
they should be.”<br />
Nowells D. Am Fam Physician 70<br />
