textbook 2

assalamualaikum...and every good day to you miss adila.
i hope that you are fine.

today is the first day we use other simulation instruments to help us know how to communicate as a concern doctor. but it is the second day we act as doctor and patient.

if you remember, yesterday we tried to make small talk with the patient and find the suitable topics that can be used in the small talk. the purpose of small talk is to encourage the patient to talk confidently and to share each of their problem with the doctor.
besides, this small talk shows what kind of doctor you are and as patient`s first impression.

today, we learn the attitudes that that doctors must have in order too tell the patients about their illness especially the one who suffer from chronic diseases. i find that it is hard to tell other people about their illness.

for example, i act as a doctor while my friends act as a boy and a mother. i need to tell the boy and his mother that he has diabetes mellitus type 1 at the early age. of course the mother starts questioning me a lot about his son`s health, his life and other illness. this will cause a bit problem to me since the mother already getting panic. the boy also starts to feel lifeless and shy.
i also need to explain to them how to recognize, treat and help people with diabetes. and of course not in medical terms to ensure that they are fully able understand what kind of disease they are facing with.

i can imagine how hard if i, who is a doctor want to tell the bad news to someone who is very close to me or may be my beloved one. of course i will be will in dilema. but i must tell it either i want it or not.

for example, just imagine how are you going to tell one of your family members that he or she has cancer. and of course they will need treatment which is the chemotheraphy. although this treatment can help to increase the chance for you to live, there are a lot of bad or may be worst side effects that are fatal.
just imagine how are you going to to tell this news to your family......

well that all for now, and i hope i am able to improve more in my speaking and writing skills through your class...hehehe.... thank you very much and wasalam...
