Patience and Patients <\/span><\/h3>\n

An article by Ms.Bhuvana Iyer<\/span><\/h3>\n

While the Word Geeks would call it a \u201cHomonym\u201d, patience and patients are like twins but inseparable. Patience is the main requisite for a heath care professional dealing with patients.<\/p>\n

Patience is a virtue. It comes naturally to some but for others, it is an invaluable skill that has to be developed over a period of time. You need patience to develop that skill called \u201cpatience\u201d.<\/p>\n

Patients usually come to us at Covai\u2019s PolyCare<\/a> with some health problems that cause them discomfort. Our duty is to provide them the \u201ccare\u201d and \u201ccomfort\u201d that they require.<\/p>\n

So, how do we develop patience?<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n

There is no \u201cOne size fits all\u201d in the \u201cCare\u201d<\/a> industry. The first Patient who walks in and the last Patient who walks out are entirely different.<\/p>\n

Individualizing care that fits our patients\u2019 need is one of the key requirements to develop patience. Showing our empathy and finding solutions to their health problems, \u00a0cuts down most of their issues by 40-50%.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with a simple smile Ah!! Smile, many of us have forgotten about the magic spell it creates, as we got older. \u00a0You would have noticed that the kids are always happy and hence are smiling all the time. They do not have worries. That is why automatically we enjoy their company. So let\u2019s pass on the same feeling to our patients too.<\/p>\n

I will share a secret with you. If you smile, actually that smile comes back to you. In a way it is infectious, eh, try it today and you will be surprised how your smile comes back to you by the end of the day (email me if it didn\u2019t!) Talking about smile, sense of humour goes a long way in easing pain of our patients. It helps the patients to feel at ease. Trust me this actually works! \u00a0Of course, it has to be used in moderation and also dependent on the person whom you are dealing with at that moment. \u00a0Humour at inappropriate time will evoke anger and not laughter!<\/p>\n

Now comes your soothing words and kind gestures displaying your patience.\u00a0 When you show someone you really care, it means a lot to them.\u00a0 You need to be passionate to show your compassion<\/em>. While it is hard to maintain a cool head due to pressure from all sides, it is not impossible. You will slowly start noticing that your kind gesture makes a huge difference to the patients. They get the true care that they need and, feel very happy about it. That in turn would make you say proudly, \u201cYes I did it<\/em>\u201d with your closed fist, like our Tennis players after winning a game to set or match<\/p>\n

\u00a0In my opinion, if you remember why you are working in a Healthcare Unit, you will be able to continue giving quality care to every patient patiently. They need your \u201cCare.\u201d Patience with Patients pays off big time.<\/p>\n

At Covai\u2019s PolyCare<\/a>, we have that in abundance. Every member works so hard patiently from morning to night to ensure that every patient gets due respect and utmost care all the time. Most of the patients who come, want to adopt our Nurses working at PolyCare!. We have to literally tell them with all the patience at our command, \u201cSorry, but we need them here at PolyCare\u201d.<\/p>\n
