    Responding to a Patient

    Listening is a key component of the medical interview and it is important to listen attentively to
    what the patient says, as this is of more importance than what is written in your role-play card.
    Careful listening will help you to improve your communication skills by allowing you to
    respond appropriately, and show empathy and concern for the patient's condition or situation.
    Here are some example responses.

     Now, I understand how you feel…...you are worried about returning home and
    whether you can manage, but let me reassure, we can provide good quality home
    care and there are a range of professional services available. Would you like me to
    tell you more about that?
     Well, you mentioned that you have had this condition for a few years, could you tell
    me about the mediation you have been taking?
     Now, as you said, the wound is causing you pain. That is why I recommend you visit
    our out-patient clinic as soon as possible.
     I am very sorry to hear that. Would you mind if I ask you a few further questions
    regarding this situation?
     Do you have any other difficulties?
     Is there anything else that is bothering you?
     Apart from chest pain, what other symptoms have you experienced?
     I see, that must be a very difficult situation for you. But the good news is, that there
    several options available which will help you. Would you like to hear more about that?
     I can see that you are worried, but try not be too concerned as this condition can be
    managed with medication and rest.
     I totally understand how you might feel, but let me reassure you, this condition is not
    as serious as you might think.
