How to comfort anxious patients

When a patient is ill, his normal study, work and life are interrupted. He has to be isolated from the outside world for a while and live a dull life accompanied by his illness. I'm afraid that anyone else will feel irritable and anxious for this. Especially some acute people are eager to recover immediately and make up for the lost time. For such patients, it is very necessary to tell a story or make them realize that "one mind can not be used in two ways". Only by understanding this truth can patients realize that their anxiety is not only useless, but also harmful, so that they can recuperate at ease. Here's an example: Meng Jun, a senior high school student in a certain school, suffered from fierce competition in class and the final exam. As a result, he broke down and was admitted to the hospital, losing more than ten pounds. During his stay in hospital, on the one hand, he was suffering from illness, on the other hand, he was always thinking about his study, for fear that he would fall behind because of delaying his homework, which would aggravate his illness. His friend Xu Bing came to visit him and learned about the situation of the Mongolian army

"I want you to think of your life as an hourglass. You know what? In the upper half of the hourglass, there are thousands of grains of sand. However, there is never a way to let more than two grains of sand flow down a narrow leak pipe at the same time. Each of us is like this hourglass. There are many things to do every day. If we do it one by one, just like the sand passing through the hourglass one by one, then we can not only do things well, but also ensure that our body will not be damaged. On the contrary, if you want to recite the text and do exercises while recuperating from illness, you will not be able to do well in your grades, and you will not be able to recuperate from illness. There are only disadvantages but no advantages, right? "

After listening to Xu Bing's words, Meng Jun finally calmed down. He remembered Xu Bing's advice that "one flow at a time, one thing at a time" and soon recovered.

Taking hourglass as an example, Xu Bing told the Mongolian army the truth that "one mind can not be used in two ways", which is vivid and enlightening. Meng Jun understood this truth and realized that only now can he make up for his lost lessons and really do a good job in his study, and he will no longer be anxious.
