Heartless doctors failed my grieving family

My father recently died, and my mother was supposed to assist the GP in pronouncing his death via a video consultation with a doctor from the practice. Given that her husband had passed away just an hour earlier, she was understandably unable to do so. My son stepped in and described it as an extremely distressing situation. I find this treatment absolutely unacceptable! I understand that new guidelines permit doctors to declare death remotely if household members are self-isolating, but this was not the scenario here. The funeral home dispatched two staff members who were able to enter the house and handle the body, so why couldn't a GP do the same? This entire experience has fundamentally undermined my respect and trust in the medical profession.
