By adopting a discourse analytical perspective, I firstly presented indirect emotional acts and empathic acts that are identified from the OMC affective practice which constitutes negative emotional expressions by e-patients and empathic responses by doctors. Then, I examined the interactional features of the affective practice, aiming at the sequence organization, the discursive features of ineffective empathic responses, and the sequential positions of an empathic act within an empathic response.
