Being able to express those fears will make them seem less overwhelming. Be willing to forgive. It's almost impossible for someone who isn't in your place to understand completely. Express your interest in the activities and well-being of others. Even when your own activities are curtailed, you can still be a good listener.
Good rapport is based on effective communication.
This requires that doctors and patients have some understanding, respect, and empathy for one another. From their first meeting, both doctor and patient have responsibilities in establishing the tone and quality of their relationship. There are times when doctors and patients fail to communicate effectively because they view situations from opposite perspectives. Each has much to gain by striving to understand the other better. Good communication skills on the part of both doctors and patients, combined with modern technology, will result in a powerful healing system.
