I’d love to read your responses.
I remember being told during our rotations to never admit we hadn’t done a procedure before. This was so that we exude professional confidence, keep the patients reassured that we knew exactly what the hell we are doing.
Despite that, I never went rogue. If I didn’t know something, I’d say, “You know what? That’s an excellent question. I want to give you the most accurate, up-to-date information. Let me get back to you on that.” Then I’d quietly excuse myself from the room, track someone down in private and either ask them the question or look up the information myself before walking back with an accurate answer.
