I believe that putting yourself in the patient's shoes is the way to go. I used to volunteer in the Cardiac Unit. My job was to visit patients and help them pass their time. Before going into the room, I would always wait a couple of seconds and imagine what the patient would be going through. I would judge the situation every time and have conversation related to that.
It's very easy to do but not easy to do all the time. Sometimes, we will be very busy and forget to concern about our patients in details. You are doing something really fine.
