Encourage more patients, enhance treatment confidence

There was a young construction worker who fell and was in a coma when working at height. After the patient woke up in the hospital, he felt that his lower limbs were not working, so he suspected that he would be disabled for life, and had the idea of suicide. After a friend of the patient found this thought, he encouraged him in time and said: "you are young and strong, with strong physiological function and vigorous metabolism. As long as you actively cooperate with the treatment and strengthen exercise in the future, you will not be disabled. This is what the doctor said. Please believe me!" Just a few words of encouragement eventually made the patients give up the idea of suicide and enhance their confidence in treatment. In the following days, patients not only actively cooperate with the treatment, but also firmly put into the recovery exercise of physiological function. He was discharged after several months. Later, he said to his friend, "if you hadn't given me timely encouragement, I would never have had confidence in my health."

In the case, the patient thinks that he will be disabled for life only according to the symptom of his lower limbs not being able to function, which shows that he thinks too much about the condition, but does not realize other factors. The friend grasped the advantage of the patient's good physical quality, stressed that he would try his best to make him believe that he would not be disabled, and stressed that this was what the doctor said, which had a good effect of appeasement and persuasion. As a result, the patient regained confidence in his recovery and discharged smoothly.
