Abstract

Hospitalists rarely sit when communicating with patients at the bedside. As an important component of etiquette-based medicine, hospitalists should strive to get to eye level when communicating with patients. Sitting, when compared to standing at the bedside, improves physician-patient communication and does not lead to any additional time spent in the patient's room.

我们无缘无故做的事情™：站在床边。

医院医生在床边与病人交流时很少坐着。作为礼仪医学的一个重要组成部分，医院医生在与患者交流时应努力达到与眼睛平视的高度。与站在床边相比，坐着可以改善医患沟通，而且不会导致在病人房间里花费额外的时间。
