Do many parents try to argue with you after suggesting methods to help their kid?
I'm very quite and don't really enjoy arguing and speaking with older people. I enjoy drawing and helping other and my family all say that I'm a great teacher for my little brother.

Hi Nadia,
Unfortunately, many parents will question your methods to trying to help their kid. Some get upset and will yell, while other parents will just ask many questions. As long as you maintain calm and collected and accurately answer their questions, you should not have any problems. You are doing your best to help their child and they will greatly appreciate you. You have to realize they are probably just nervous and upset about the situation and sometimes take it out on you. If you ever feel uncomfortable or threatened during a situation you can bring your manager or another physician in with you to both try to talk to the parent.
Hope this helps!
