today we had to interview our first patients- no not the normal going through a list and asking all the list of questions yu have to ask, but doing the touchy feely stuff.
its so weird. Its so weird asking a patient that has pains in x about how they feel about it, about how it affects their life-isnt it obvious? does it really come across better if you dont plumply state: How does it affect your life?
and the interviews here are so different to german interviews. in germany its bump, bump bump finished. here its all the touchy feely parts as well. in germany its almost always (at least in hospital) purely medical- from what i have seen, here its the family the touchy feely etc. I know it makes you feel better as a patient, but as a patient you dont go in having a normal conversation (or is it just me being all awkward about it).
the first interview felt really good. just the person thought it was aweful and not touchy feely enough. the second interview was completely bad, and the guy thought it was good, the last interview was fine, I didnt smile enough. I dont know if I just got bad feedback becuase I had patents that were honest, or if I just genuinely suck at talking to people.
I have the feeling I am never going to be confident about myself talking to patients- or jsut generally infront of people, even though I want to I think I am actually not really talented.
