> clinicians elicited patient concerns, the clinician interrupted the patient after a median of 11 seconds (interquartile range 7–22; range 3 to 234 s). Uninterrupted patients took a median of 6 s (interquartile range 3–19; range 2 to 108 s) to state their concern. I’m not sure what conclusions to draw from this. On one hand, I find that people who interrupt me make whatever I need to say take much longer. On the other hand, I feel that patients would be shy when answering, if they were asked broad questions, and therefore take less time to answer, possibly hoping for more guiding questions to follow.
