Where have you been?

Sometime a simulated patient during the Step 2 CS exam may act like a real life irritated patient, upon entering the room he may confront you by saying.

Where have you been doc I have been waiting for so long?

Tip: Remain calm and confident, he has been told to act like that, and little bit of appropriate
counseling will normalize the things.

Response: Mr____ I am so sorry that you had to wait for so long. Actually I had some unexpected delays during my previous patient encounters. I am here now and will try to help you as much a I can.
