You have an agenda
We have a need
You say, tell me about why you are here
We begin to tell you
You cut us off
No! Tell me about your symptoms not your referral
But this is why we are here.
We will get to the symptoms
If you will allow
Us to tell our story
You may be bored
You have a long list of patients with stories to tell with details you think are irrelevant
We need to be heard
To be heard we need to speak the way it naturally comes.
Our story
Our tale
Our symptoms
You would hear the symptoms if you would let us tell you why we are here
Do not shut us down because you think you have heard it all before.
You think you know what is relevant
Let us speak and we would all be saved time in the long run
Let us speak and you will hear
Let us be heard and we can begin to heal
