All these uniqueness that you come across could be valuable lessons helping you to grow. To recognize and understand this uniqueness of others, use tactics like pause, reflect, adjust, and act.<\/p>\n<p>A patient from a completely different cultural background can shoot some enquiries that you may feel weird, annoying, and overwhelming. Take a pause, reflect on what is being put in front of you, give yourself time to adjust, and then take proper action.

You listen with your ears not your heart and jump to conclusions. And actions that follow will either be erroneous or have serious information gaps. In the medical tourism business, this will do more harm than good. You won\u2019t be able to serve your patients or guests rightly.<\/p>\n<p>Empathic listening is when you listen with the intent to understand. To master this skill, try the following five steps.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Quiet\"><strong>Quiet your mind and focus on the patient\u2019s words<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-35202 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/medical-tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/12\/Male-caucasian-patient-in-pain-showing-to-doctor-hurting-place.jpg\" alt=\"Male caucasian patient in pain showing to doctor hurting place\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/medical-tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/12\/Male-caucasian-patient-in-pain-showing-to-doctor-hurting-place.jpg 800w, https:\/\/drprem.com\/medical-tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/12\/Male-caucasian-patient-in-pain-showing-to-doctor-hurting-place-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/drprem.com\/medical-tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/12\/Male-caucasian-patient-in-pain-showing-to-doctor-hurting-place-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As an empathic listener, you should not only silence your mouth but also your brain. If your thoughts run here and there, you will miss vital cues. Reining your mind from distracting thinking is vital to empathic listening.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever you take up a call, say to yourself \u2013\u201cI am going to focus here now\u201d. This small self-check will train your brain to be more focused. Make sure to practice this several times whenever you are communicating with others even if they are not your customers.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Be\"><strong>Be all ears and open-minded<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Listening eagerly with an open mind means listening without biasness and defensiveness. Not only your mind, but engage your body and senses while listening. Just mere words of sympathy or consolation will not work if your bodily gestures are not in tune. While talking over the phone, use appropriate supportive words to express your support. Go deep into the words and feelings of the speaker.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Ask\"><strong>Ask the right questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-35203 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/medical-tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/12\/Senior-Male-Patient-In-Consultation-With-Doctor.jpg\" alt=\"Senior Male Patient In Consultation With Doctor \" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/medical-tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/12\/Senior-Male-Patient-In-Consultation-With-Doctor.jpg 800w, https:\/\/drprem.com\/medical-tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/12\/Senior-Male-Patient-In-Consultation-With-Doctor-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/drprem.com\/medical-tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/12\/Senior-Male-Patient-In-Consultation-With-Doctor-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Many people are not good at explaining things but expect to be rightly understood. No point in blaming them as neither they are perfect in their language nor are we capable enough to understand those. Instead, look for the exact meaning by asking the right questions. A patient may be seeking a specific <span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff\" href=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/medical-tourism\/best-and-worst-medical-procedures\">medical tourism procedure <\/a><\/strong><\/span>but name a different one owing to lack of knowledge in medical terms.

This means, expressing your thoughts and feelings accurately and also to make the person listen and receive it pleasantly. This is a very important skill you will often come across in medical tourism training and masterclasses. It is understandable that a patient will discuss everything related to his\/her physical disorder freely, but in reality, it is not that easy. Some innocuous questions from you may upset the patient.<\/p>\n<p>Let us consider the following 5 steps:<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Have\"><strong>Have better clarity of your thoughts before speaking<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>What information do you need from the patient to provide the best support?

How to find out those issues?<\/p>\n<p>If you are a medical tourism facilitator or healthcare provider, first you need to find the right person and decide on a specific topic. It could be your existing customer who has availed of your service, or your colleague dealing with medical tourists or a prospective medical or wellness traveler. You can choose from a range of topics like patient\u2019s experience in medical tourism, <span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff\" href=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/medical-tourism\/chapter-21-post-operative-care-preparation\">post-operative follow up<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, wellness programs or therapies, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Try to explain how both of you can benefit from this practice. Schedule a time for practice and follow each of the above-mentioned steps. Be open to rectify each other if necessary. Take this practice seriously just like any other educational session. You need to cultivate this habit, just attending a medical tourism training session or reading a medical tourism guide won\u2019t help.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"fruitful\">Empathy is desirable but compassion leads to fruitful action<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-37736 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/medical-tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/12\/Oxytocin-the-love-hormone.jpg\" alt=\"Oxytocin, the love hormone\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/medical-tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/12\/Oxytocin-the-love-hormone.jpg 800w, https:\/\/drprem.com\/medical-tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/12\/Oxytocin-the-love-hormone-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/drprem.com\/medical-tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/12\/Oxytocin-the-love-hormone-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Compassion is hardwired in our brains 200,000 years ago.

Every act of compassion releases Oxytocin, the love hormone that generates positive emotions, leads you towards constructive thoughts and actions.<\/p>\n<p>Showing compassion does not project you as weak or vulnerable, but takes you nearer to the customer much faster than your competitors. You can take the right action for medical tourists or wellness consumers only if you are compassionate, that is, willing to serve them best.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Compassion begins with self<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Caring for others comes from practicing mindful self-compassion.

Politely ask for permission if you need to pause to jot down a few things.<\/li>\n<li>If possible, record the conversation to study it minutely later. You will not miss any significant point.<\/li>\n<li>Provide some useful information to the patient that might provide some instant relief. A quick referral or an instant consultation can help.<\/li>\n<li>Keep in touch with the patient or the tourist through courteous correspondences.<\/li>\n<li>Do not forget to enquire about the well-being of your customer even if he\/she doesn\u2019t turn up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Patient acquisition in medical tourism business has become harder with lots of restrictions in place.
