Practice matters

We’ve all been there. That ‘leave it to me’ moment when frustration gets the better of us and we decide that we’d rather finish a task ourselves than let someone else ‘help’.

We might be trying to teach a patient to self-catheterise or educating them on how to monitor their blood glucose levels, but sometimes, whether it’s through tiredness, others’ lack of ability, or simply not having the time, it can seem easier to finish the job yourself than to watch someone else struggle.
