Episode description
This podcast episode addresses how doctors can handle anxious patients who have self-diagnosed using AI. In a simulated consultation, a doctor reassures a patient concerned about lymphoma, explains medical terms, outlines the need for blood tests, and conditions a specialist referral on results. Key communication strategies include validating fears, using evidence-based reassurance, explaining jargon with analogies, and setting clear expectations for specialist referrals.
