A physician can best treat elderly patients if he or she understands their unique problems and employs effective techniques of communication. Be aware how your patient's anxiety or your own view about the elderly can erect a barrier to communication. Your position in the room, your tone of voice, your touch all communicate--either positively or negatively--to your elderly patient.
如果医生了解老年患者的独特问题并采用有效的沟通技巧，就能更好地治疗他们。要意识到患者的焦虑或你自己对老年人的看法可能会成为沟通的障碍。你在房间里的位置、语气、触摸都会对老年患者产生积极或消极的影响。
