Patient: Doctor, I had a stomach ache
Doctor: How is the pain?
Patient: The pain is like you feel pain in stomach.
Doctor: No, I mean how pain is the pain?
Patient: Owh, the pain is like pain.
Doctor: ??????
How to describe a pain? Today's lesson will make me understand about it. InsyaAllah. Sometimes, the pain do not always feel the same. Pain of stomachache does not the same as Headache. Sometimes the pain feel like pressing or stabbing or throbbing or intense or anything else. It is compulsory for the doctors to know about that. Different tpe of pain will have different dosage of pain-killers to decline the pain.
Another thing that really made today's lesson interesting is about how to break bad news to patients. I wonder how is the best language and facial expression that doctor need to make to deliver the bad news (hippocrite!). Ahaks..... However, the most important thing is understand our patient and deliver the news at the right place and time. Otherwise, your ear will be loaded with the patient's rebuke....
