Physician: So I’m going to prescribe an anti-inflammatory medication that you can take every 6 to 8 hours for a week to 10 days?
Patient: Alright, thank you.
Physician: You should rest it as much as you can and try to ice it several times a day.
Patient: OK, I’ll do that.
Physician: Great. In the meantime, I noticed that your chart says you haven’t been vaccinated against COVID yet?
Patient: Oh... err. no.
Physician: So, you haven’t been given any doses of the vaccine at all yet?
Patient: No... not at the moment.
Physician: Do you have concerns about being vaccinated?
Patient: I suppose so... I mean, I don’t really trust it yet.
Physician: Mmm, you’re certainly not alone. Is there anything in particular that’s causing you to feel that way?
Patient: I think that it’s all been too sudden – how much do we really know about it? I’ve read about all of these side effects that different people have had. And, I don’t know, it just doesn’t seem worth it.
Physician: Ah, I understand.
