The gap in psychological care for patients in medical service institutions is something only the patients' families can try to fill. It's not just children; adult patients are the same. But after all, family members are not professionals, and what they can do is limited.
Inspired by Student Xie's questions to the patient, Pan Shihua had a sudden idea and said to the patient, "Come over this afternoon, and I'll accompany you for the examination. If you have any questions, you can ask me on the spot. I'll explain everything to you and teach you how to read the ultrasound report."
The fear partly stems from the psychological inability to control the unknown. Imparting knowledge and changing perception is one of the effective ways to eliminate fear. With Pan Shihua's suggestion, the patient seemed a bit interested.
