OK. When you caveat it as a rare specialist with an attitude, then I'd agree
with you, at least in practice. Let them do their tiny/special job and don't
expect/require them to think/care about you as a whole person. But in those
cases, who is in charge does matter a great deal. If they're

I am intuiting from your current riff of questions/anecdotes here, that

engagement with the health-care system, THAT interface is an important

right now...
Yeah, I try not do that until I've observed a person for a while. Some people
are more sensitive or inflexible, but not necessarily for reasons they can
control. I don't see that vendor and customer really makes a difference in
the extreme cases. What matters is getting to the truth, using
I disagree completely. If we consider you and your Dr colleagues who share the
same objective, then when a colleague of mine interrupts me, I tend to have
enough respect for them to assume they're interrupting me because they think I
should be interrupted. Similarly, if they seize control of

Probably. In the context of a more acute situation (e.g. emergency room, or
the patient is in severe distress), the nurses are trained to inject their
judgment. But in a more casual context (like an office visit to a GP), they're
not.
The important point, though, is it's a matter of
Actually the question was about the nurse :-) and (from my understanding)
the dynamics of medicine is such that nurses *don't* give doctors feedback
on things like this. So the good advice here (which i agree with) would
need to be passed onto the doctor directly

Perhaps the first step needs to be "How sensitive is this patient to bedside
manner?", and from that estimate then prioritize the relative timing of one
sort of analysis over another. I assume I'm dealing with an intelligent, if
imperfect, person.I think it takes some self-control to be a
Perhaps. But if that's the case, I would immediately leave and find another
Dr. As I explained before, and is peppered throughout Renee's training, the
"assessment of the patient", which involves really *looking* at the patient, is
more powerful than any other (set of) metric(s).

Hm. I don't think I could, or want to, figure out which series you're thinking

not on distracting emotional signals?
