What to bring to the patient



Traditionally, patients come with flowers and refreshments. But a bouquet of flowers – not a good idea: will have to find capacity to put it to change the water so it's no good – a person may be hard once again to get out of bed. The patient will be more grateful for the items not so romantic, but necessary. It is better to directly ask the person in a telephone conversation, what he needs: maybe he ran out of sanitary napkins, or toothpaste, or he has nothing to read.

Bring the patient any food possible, but we must remember that many diseases of the diet appointed. What can the patient have and what is not, better not ask him and your doctor, because not all patients are diet seriously enough.

How to behave at the hospital



Before you enter the house, you need to wear Shoe covers on your feet and on the shoulders – a special one-off cloak. Typically, these items are sold directly to hospitals, but it is better to buy them at the pharmacy – just in case the medical establishment will not.

At the same time the chamber allow no more than two visitors for one patient, so your visit should be agreed in advance with other family members and friends of the patient, which may also come. It doesn't matter only in case, if the person is able to go into the hall where you can meet with any number of visitors. If a person is in the moment in the house, for example, on the procedure you need to wait for him in the hallway.

Entering the room, greet all who are there, and then coming to the bedside of his relative or friend with him directly. You need not to sit on the bed and on a chair if the latter is not, it is better to stand.
