Gesture & etiquette
Have the written medication record or a printed summary ready to share as you speak. Maintain steady eye contact to convey reliability and professional care.
Family members need precise, accountable information about medication changes. Attributing the explanation to the physician (「先生から」) establishes professional authority and prevents confusion about who made the medical decision.
