You wouldn't tell them what you were going to order or why, which I always do now.
And you wouldn't ask them what they wanted done.
And I'm not saying you just ask the patient, well, what do you want to do?
No, nobody likes that.
You're in charge.
Yes, we understand that.
But they do have some agency.
But I was not taught that as a resident.
Yeah, definitely.
That population in Detroit was trained by us as physicians to expect that they were not going to have any say in what was going on in the emergency department.
And so there was a little bit of learned helplessness, I think.
And they did not participate in their care.
