Example text
Terry was studying the individual differences among third-year medical students in their abilities to deliver bad news effectively and appropriately to a simulated patient. Although this was a role-play interaction, it was part of the students' clinical performance examination during their internal medicine/surgical clerkship, so the students treated the interaction quite seriously. Terry: Christie, thank you so much for taking an interest in my study. Christie: You're quite welcome. I've been intrigued by bad-news delivery for some time.
You probably have worked with dozens of physicians like this over the years. I promise you, though, I won't become that kind of unfeeling physician. Mom: I could never imagine you being that detached. Christie: I can't imagine wanting to continue to practice medicine if I don't connect with my patients on a human level. Mom: What did the author conclude from this study? Christie: Well, I'm only halfway through the book, but he claims that physicians are socialized to dehumanize patients because technically their first patient is a cadaver.
Um hum (2 second pause) And, well my leg hurts too. I have this sharp pain running all the way down the back of my left leg. I've been taking lots of aspirin, but that doesn't seem to help much. Help much? It seems to ease the pain somewhat, but I've been taking so much that I think it's starting to bother my stomach. Besides it doesn't suppress the pain enough for me to do my regular activities. It's just been awful the last few weeks. I can't sit at my desk and work for more than 20 minutes at a time because it hurts so much.
