Thanks for the Memories

Each time I see a patient, I note on the chart personal events in his or her life--such as "going on a cruise" or "attending grandson's graduation"--in addition to the clinical findings.

 

Each time I see a patient, I note on the chart personal events in his or her life--such as "going on a cruise" or "attending grandson's graduation"--in addition to the clinical findings. When the patient returns, I bring up the event I jotted down. This usually brings back pleasant memories, and patients appreciate that I follow events in their lives.
