What NOT to say to a person with a chronic illness


CNN editor Lisa Copen posted a list of things NOT to say to a person with a chronic illness. I have posted the link below for you to read.

I [Danny Pettry] provide services for children and adolescents at a psychiatric hospital. I once asked new patients upon meeting them, how are you today? That was not a good question because I realized that patients being admitted to a psychiatric hospital were usually not in the best spirits. Now, I ask different questions such as: has the staff been treating you well since you’ve been here?
