Patients require the support of friends and other people close to them to recover.
You need to be careful when addressing a sick person lest you kill his or her spirit.
Never say these four things to someone who is sick:
1 I feel so sorry for you
Most people think that it is a wise thing to tell a sick person you feel sorry for him or her.
Sick persons want people who encourage them and not feel sorry for them.
The statement is likely to make them feel more miserable. You must learn to address a patient before visiting him or her.
2 If anyone can recover from this deadly disease, it's you
Never remind a patient that he or she is suffering from a deadly disease.
Patients require your support; they need you to stand with them.
Telling them the disease they are suffering from is dangerous is likely to make the situation worse in the long run.
3 You're looking well
You do not understand how he or she feels in his or her bed.
Never assume the smile on their faces means everything is well.
Some people smile, but they are in too much pain.
The smile should not make you forget their pain.
4. Can't wait for you to recover we go partying
It is weird to tell a patient you want them to recover so that you can go partying.
What matters at this stage is the health. Keep such statements to yourself
