How to treat patients....?
Here are some ways to treat patient's needs  and concerns:

#1 Watch facial Expressions:
Focus on the patient's face as they are speaking.
This helps you better gauage the emotion and meaning behind the words being spoken.

#2 Pay attention to your own Emotions:
Before entering the room to see the patient, check your emotions at the door. You may have had difficult situation with the previous patient or are concerned about another's well-being, but this patient you're about to see deserves your 100% attention now.

#3 Write down important things to say, questions to ask:
There's a not alot of time to cover everything you need to with each patient, but if you do have a minute or so before you enter the room, jot down questions to ask the patient or items you want to vover during the visit. This minimize wasted time and leaves you room to listen to what your patient has to say.

#4 Use 75/25 rule:
A good way to keep your listening at the right level is to make use of the 75/25 rule. This means you listen 75% ogf the time and talk 25 percent of the time. It may not work out perfectly, but it's a good  goal.

#5 Make effective use of long pauses: If you think your patient is holding back  due to discomfort, fear, shyness or is possibly  strugglingto find the words to describe symptoms, the judicious use of long pauses may help draw out the patient.

#6 Avoid reacting immediately:
You may have a recalcitrant patient, or one who's difficulty to treat. Here's where it's a good  idea to avoid reacting immediately to whatever the patient has to say. Hold  your judgment or urge to give advice or recommendation until the conversation _
-gently guided by you- gets more at the crux of the reason  why the patient has come into see you.

#7 Don't interrupt:
No one likes to be interrupted, least of all your patient. Give an adequate amount of time to allow  the patient to finish his/ her thoughts and wait for a pause before speaking. Your patient may be searching for something important to tell you, or recollectng a key  symptom thay you've just reminded them of in something you've said.

#8 Make the most of face to face time:
When it's time to see your patient set technology aside as much as extent possible this means no using the smartphone to make or take calls or texts. This is valuable time you're spending with your patient. Make the most of it.
