Interview prompt
A patient wants to leave in time for his son’s birthday game. He asks whether calling his chest discomfort heartburn would get him out faster. The doctor says probably not, explains that more assessment is planned and says the team will try to be quick. You are reviewing the response, not deciding tests or discharge. What is one useful change to this response, and why? Describe one useful change and explain why it helps.
