Patient Signature Date
G. Culture tip
Westerners make frequent eye contact with each other to show that they are interested in
what the other person is saying. Doctors should spend the majority of their time with a
patient actually looking at the patient, not at notes or test results. Leaning slightly forward
when talking to a person is another way to show interest in what that person has to say.
Occasionally saying “Mmm” while the person is talking is a sign that you are listening and
have understood what the person is talking about.
