crazy

yes, you are correct... they don't teach "personal communiation skills in Medical School"

i think the "how to win friends and influence people" class should be taught at all levels.

the basic class on life needs to be taught.

 

but, then again.... Life is why we learn, and why the older we get... the better we get!

it's all about life experiences, and always wanting to learn, improve and grow.

 

at my hospital... there are only about 2-3% who don't "get it". But those 2-3% of people, can ruin a cancer fighters day with one stuipid comments, one puppy dog eyed look... or with selfishness or ungratefullness.

I'd like to hold a class for the medical caregivers to help them to help others!

I gotta start that book!!!!

You are right Joe!   These

You are right Joe!   These things are learned  - some people never quite learn them though.  Like my 60 yr old neighbor who asked what hospital my husband was in and then proceeded to tell me she would never go there and they really messed up her sister when she was there....but she was sure he'd be fine.   I just make an excuse and walk away.  Some people just can't be taught!    You write that book and I'll purchase many copies to hand out!!

Hubby is back in the hospital with dehydration - was not a happy camper when he went for a bag of fluids yesterday after the surgeon's nurse called and said he just had to pop in for some fluids - then they told him they were keeping him.  He had an awesome nurse though that spent hours just hanging out with us and really calmed him down.  Same with the surgical resident who came in, pulled up a chair and just calming explained why they thought he should stay the night.   There are more good ones than bad thankfully!
