1. A good medical interview is all about listening and being kind. Doctors should look the patient in the eye, use simple words everyone understands, ask questions that let patients explain things, show they really care about what the patient is saying, and make the patient feel comfortable and respected. The most important thing is to make patients feel safe and heard. When doctors are friendly and patient, people share more about their health.
2. When a patient doesn't want to talk about their health, doctors need to be extra careful and kind. The most important thing is to make the patient feel safe and understood. Start by creating a friendly atmosphere where the patient feels like they can speak freely without being judged. Some helpful ways to encourage patients to open up include speaking in a warm, gentle voice, listening carefully and showing you really care, explaining why their information is important for their health, promising to keep everything they say private.
3. When we use a stethoscope, for heart, we check different areas, listen for normal heart beats, watch for any unusual sounds, and compare sounds to make sure everything sounds right. For lungs, we listen to all parts, check if breathing sounds normal, and look for any strange noises like wheezing. It's a careful process of understanding what the body is saying through its sounds.
4. Skin tells a lot about a person's health. Doctors look for unusual colors or marks, rashes or strange spots, changes in skin texture, and signs of possible health problems. They carefully examine the skin to find clues about the patient's overall health. Every spot, color change, or texture can tell a story about what might be happening inside the body. This examination helps doctors understand potential health issues that might not be visible on the surface.
