Yes , I agree

yes i agree with you.

True that! We need patience to listen to their family stories also :sweat_smile: Elderly people come and vent their sorrows..

I agree that practicing patience is as important as our skills. Patients might be confused of their symptoms, how to express it and even be scared to say it out. It is as professionals, our responsibility, to guide the patients to feel comfortable and safe.
