Have you ever met a person in the medical profession that you remember in a good way? What was it that you liked about the way they treated you?

So you like the personal touch he gives you and that he is concerned abut your well-being?

Simple. Just imagine that you're the person in the bed.

That really makes a lot of sense. Empathy is a good thing.

Easiest way to have a bedside manner is to find a portable bed.
A cot on wheels best. Small and manouvarable.
For without a bed beside you how can you practice.

Look people in the eye when speaking to them.Before you do something like say dress them,explain what you are about to do.Use gentle, sincere tones and listen to what the resident has to say even if they have said it 10 times that day and above all show respect and love and compassion for them.

That makes sense. I have found a lot of portable beds. I find the corners of the portable beds the easiest. Ouch.

Excellent advice. Really been working on hearing that same thing ten times a day.

Keeping it simple is one thing, but I appreciate when my doctor talks in layman terms. I want an explanantion of the diagnosis & treatment, and he realizes I don't know medical terminology, so he explains things so I understand them. I don't leave there confused or uncertain of what the problem was or the treatment.
One year I missed my yearly check-up and he said to me "if we don't catch cancer in time, you could simply bleed to death and there would be nothing I could do for you, so do not miss your check-up." I really appreciated his honesty. Made me realize he cared about me and that I should care about me too. I haven't missed one since then.

I have found similarity with what you input with the residents I come in contact with. Even the hardest to deal with want to know what you are going to do with you. When working with our one resident Jessee the range of motion has really paid off. A person from his past came in and she even got him to talk. I was like in total shock. I didn't even know he could talk. I deal with a lot of confused people.
