>> I enjoy the one-on-one patient interaction that you're able to have.
I enjoy it because you're able to sit down with the patient.
Given that it's not that much time, but you are able to sit down with the patient and listen
to their concerns or stories, and have a conversation with them.
It's really nice to show that you care, and, you know, like there's like a lot of people
who don't always have someone to talk to, and it's really nice to just be able to be
that person for a moment and listen.
A challenge is that I really, really enjoy that one-on-one patient interaction,
but unfortunately in a clinical setting that can't last long, because the doctor does need
to get in that room, and appointment time is only so long.
And what the doctor has to do with the patient is very critical,
and is very important, obviously.
So you have to be quick.
Being quick with a patient is like what you need to do [laughs] when you're in the room,
but you can't at the same time show the patient that you are in a rush.
Not necessary, that you might be like in a huge rush, but you want to show them that you care,
but you also don't want to like lollygag in the room.
