Report · 6:26pm

so for a gud counselling u need to know about ur patient

what is his occupation

why he is using it

is he aware of the harmful effects of the habits

and since how long he is using it

then after understanding it from the patient s prospective

u just propse ur suggestion

then it is important

u must tell him why u are telling him to quit the habit

another important part is u must do a oral checkup

bcoz patiuents are of two types

1 with active complaint

and second with only asymptomatic lesions

so better u reach upto the depth

more will be the chances of ur win

if the patient is having lesion and also having complaint

then u can start ur counselling with explaining the problem

then by considering everything in ur mind like socioeconomic status of patient,education level of patient

u just order himj to quit it

u can show him statuary warning printed on gutka packs

or cigrette packets

ithen there is one class of patient

who are not willing for quitting of habit

they are the most difficult one

now in these patients u need to ask for social persomel and family history

bcoz sumtimes they are just taking all this stuff becoz they dont want to live,are depressed or nt happy.

i hv. one pt. he is a butcher.......he is 25/m he said me he wants to quit the habbit he asked me for any medicine to quit gutka......

see there is no better medication than will power to quit this

uy need to properly counsell him

but before doing that u need to understand the concept completely

all mediction will provide temprory relief

and medicine is a drug so it must be having some pharmacological values and in the long run it would be having harmful effect

and it is dangerous to provide these medication to those kind of patient who are ignorent

there is a greter chanc eof drug abuse

so this time u are making him an addict

so my friend there is no shortcut to sucess

u hav to understand the need of the patient

than counsell him

thats wat we learn in our branch

see i mtelling u very imp lesson

wat mistake we normally do we are treating our patients like a mchine

like servicing of a bike

that is not true

u hav to deal with him by making hi m partner in the treatment

it will create an understanding,trust

and would lead to ultimate healing

so u just understand need of the patient than counsell him and explainn him the importance of quitting of habit

then see the magic

.taht s all

positive thing in ur patient is he is willing for quitting

anytime dear

thank u sir for explaining me....n i thing it is not an easy job.....

a good councelling really needs hard work ......i hv. seen u ........

i will try to learn it frm u..........

yarin this we hav to completely understand the pshycology of the patient

its like making a dish by knowing what the custumer want

everyone has different expectations,different taste

u cant give everyone the same thing

although ingredient would be same

but technique would be different

or u can compare it with cricket one ball and one bat

but there are plenty of shots

plenty of styles so

thats the fun in doing that

and believe me it gives u agreat feeling wen u are suceesful in counselling of a ptient

but u shuld also avoid overcounselling
