Let’s say it’s a typical work day at your clinic or hospital. Halfway through a scan, while chatting comfortably with your patient, they mention a pain they’ve been having in a different part of their body. You can see that they are anxious about it and that it’s been on their mind for a while.
You want to help because you can understand the hassle and waiting that making another doctor’s appointment will require. But at the same time that area isn’t mentioned on the patient’s requisition and it’s a busy day, as is every day, and you are mindful of the waiting room full of other patients ahead of you.
You are uncertain of the parameters of your job in this situation. What do you do?
