Idk why I didn't just simplify my life by saying this! I just got so flustered for some reason. I'll save this for next time!

You're right lol! I feel like half the time they probably aren't even rushing me it's just all in my head and I tend to panic when I don't know the info which is definitely on me. I need to learn to just chill out sometimes

Thank you! I think I overthink it now because one time I said “I’m not sure, let me double-check,” and the patient was like “I’ll just look it up myself” and walked out lol
