Visiting the sick, and being sensitive to their needs

Hi,

A nuance in the mitzvah of visiting the sick:

"One should not visit ill people who have bowel ailments, or eye pain or headaches: Bowel ailments because the ill person will be embarrassed before the visitor, and eye pain or headaches because conversation is painful for someone in that condition."

(Talmud, Nedarim 41a)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
