Managing the Demanding Patient
If you've been a clinician for any significant period of time, you will know exactly what I mean when I refer to the demanding patient. But how much time have you spend discussing how to manage one?
This episode of The Clinician's Survival Guide discusses:
- What we mean by the demanding patient
- What underlies this behaviour
- Why it's absolutely NOT appropriate to give in (in most cases)
- How to approach the consultation
- How to refuse their demand
- What might help the consultation end positively
