Communication--a theatre art.
The art of communication is not easy. We communicate with patients by speech, writing, illustrations, gesture, touch and smell, sometimes singly, sometimes all at the same time. The firmness of a handshake carries meaning as clearly as words, in the same way that a smile radiates confidence and friendliness. Good communication carries its own reward: the trust of a patient.
