I was shadowing a doctor when i met this really insane patient. She told the doctor that she had read online that if you have certain symptoms you have a certain disease and she had those symptoms and she was sure she had the disease. The doctor diagnonised her and told her that she didn't have the disease. The patient was offending and told the doctor that she was sure that she had the disease. She was firm on making the doctor confess that he didn't know about the disease, when she acutally didn't know about it. The doctor just said that if she wants she could show a different doctor, but her insult was too much for such a polite answer. How do you think the doctor should have replied, in a witty, though polite, in a non-offending, but still in a way to prove his point, should reply to give a good reply to the patient in a professional way????
