Problem:
The purpose of this assignment is to help prepare you for the real world of patient versus clinician priority and the use of shared decision making. A 76 year female patient presents to your clinic with a piece of paper she begins referring to during your visit. She does not offer to share the list with you. You respectfully interrupt her by saying, "Oh Mrs. Smith, I am so glad you brought a list to help guide us through this visit, THANK YOU! Let's look at it together and we can decide what we should discuss today in our allotted time and what can wait until our next visit", you extend your hand and she happily hands you the list. You place the list on the exam table between the two of you so you can both see it and restart your visit. Mrs. Smith is well known to you.
