I think the first time I noticed it was, like as a medical student when you would rotate on one service with one attending and they would make decisions about how to treat a case one way. They look at the signs and symptoms, they do a physical exam, maybe some lab tests or some imaging. Amber: Norm is, yeah. Would she want CPR?

So one end of the spectrum is somebody who’s just a total novice, and it’s clearly very awkward and they’re not used to talking to people in a clinical encounter, like a medical student or something like that. Stop thinking the physical exam or the differential diagnose, whatever, and just be there.

It’ll come out in these deviant behaviors, just like you mentioned earlier, where maybe we stave off seeing that patient, send the medical student instead or delay that visit till the end of the day. What medications are the patient on? And also the whole potential psychiatric diagnoses. We’ll act it out.

Something that I’d very little experience of having been a medical student in Pakistan. We are really trained to treat it as a purely physical sensation that you can rate on a scale of zero to 10 with specific tools. And it is as much an emotion that one feels as it is a physical sensation.
