As someone who experiences medical anxiety regularly, this reminds me of basically every dermatologist visit I’ve had.
The doctors who cut biopsies out of your skin don’t seem realize how much you’ll think about there words when you leave. “How long has that been there? That looks a little concerning. That seems strange.”
Doctors have to deal with patients of all kinds of mental fortitude of course, but it wouldn’t hurt to be clearer about procedures, concerns, etc.
For example, tell me “I bias towards taking a biopsy if I have even a little bit of doubt.”
