That's why I feel that it's important to approach patients with a smile and to be willing to listen to them, since just showing that you care about them can brighten up their whole day as well as put them in a more positive mindset to improve their health. in the end this is extremely important because as Clinical Care Extender/ PreStep- Health Care Scholar it makes it easier to notice if somethings…
