I never thought, nor did I want, to ask this question but...
I'm going to be volunteering at a hospital soon. This will entail a variety of tasks, many of which involve interacting directly with patients (e.g transporting, greeting, visiting, etc).
I can give really good pre-planned speeches and such to large groups of people, however it requires a bit more effort to strike up small-talk and speak genuinely with individuals. I don't have a problem with projection (unless it gets too awkward) but rather with just maintaining the conversation and coming up with things to say. I usually just observe what other people do in these situations and try to mimic them; sometimes it works, other times not so much.
I want to make sick people feel well, not awkward.
Could you give me a scenario of what you would do with say, transporting a patient via wheelchair?
Thanks
