Bikur Cholim in Tefillah-1

Using the Halachos of Bikur Cholim in my Tefillah-
In honor of Maras Aviva Bas Shaina Chana for a Refuah Shleima

Bikur Cholim- Checking out the situation.
To me this is acted out in Shmone Esray when I take my three steps back, to take the pause and contemplate before I approach Hashem in terms of Who am I approaching, In terms of Why am I approaching, and How am I approaching The Creator of The World.
(M.S)

Halachos of Bikur Cholim

• You can  call a family member and say, "Can I call, or should I email, or should I text “?
• You're never allowed to go into the room of a Choleh and just be silent. You are Not allowed to, because then you're putting pressure on the Choleh.
• If you have tension with the person, you are not allowed to visit, because the  person is vulnerable.
• You can't do it unless they specifically ask for you.
• If you're a close relative of someone who is sick, you may  go and visit right away. This category includes a close relative, meaning a father, mother, sister, brother, son, daughter, spouse. 

We learn this Halacha from Avraham Avinu , as Hashem visited him only on the third day.  This is part of Bikur, to check them out. One needs to ask how will the person respond to me. (Gmarra N'darim).
