Sample answer outline
- Stay calm and don't take it personally. Ask what's behind the request: a past experience, a specific worry.
- Explain your role briefly and confidently: your training, how you work with the physician, what you'll do today.
- Offer a path: you'll start the visit and involve the physician if needed, or arrange for them to see the doctor.
- Respect their choice if they still prefer the physician.
What makes it work
- Confidence without defensiveness builds trust.
- Putting the patient's comfort first is the professional move.
