What appears to be Dr. Miles’ goal in this conversation?
  • Dr. Miles tries to start from a nonjudgmental position and attempts to understand her colleague’s perspective: “I’d like to understand why you got that order for antibiotics.”

How effective is her opening?
  • Dr. Miles shows respect for the nurse’s care of Mr. Stein and then highlights their common goal: “[Mrs. Stein] says you take good care of her husband and I know we both want to give him the best care possible.”

What emotions is she conveying?
  • Dr. Miles appears calm and more open to conversation: “I understand you thought what you were doing was right. But this is a situation where the standard right choice isn’t necessarily the good choice. . . Do you have a minute?”
