Beyond diagnosis and treatment: How simple reassurance makes all the difference.

Abstract:

:In life there are some people who are confident enought that they do not require reassurance and then there are others that need it constantly just to be able to function in their daily living. I am fortunate enough to experience the gift of reassurance and being able to give it back. As a first time mother, many of the experiences were unnerving and it was reassuring to hear someone say that I was doing a good job. We were also lucky to have a pediatrician who put our parenteral paranoia at ease by keeping communication open. She didn't always have the answers to every query, but she called and followed up and was able to send us to specialists who she could pass on the estafet of proving care. Now as a healthprovider myself I always try to have a conversation with my patients and their relatives about their and their loved ones treatment. I know that people are often reassured just by the knowledge that someone listened.
