Discuss with the patient the need for further laboratory examination

Doctor: “You need further supportive examination, such as an Electromyography to assess the current condition of nerve functions”
Patient: “Doctor, is it important to do this right now? If not, I need to schedule it for another time”
Doctor: “It is not urgent, but it’s needed”
Patient: “Then, I prefer to schedule it for next week”

This response reflects a significant gap in digital communication and teleconsultation skills as the doctor ignores the patient’s initial request to address his health issues. By suggesting further laboratory examination in the future, this session ends prematurely without providing a solution or solid future plan.
