Fellow OPS-ians , can i check how do you all deal with the extremely anxious and repetitive patients ? I know it sounds like im unempathetic but i really cannot take it anymore its very very hard knowing my q is building up outside , especially if the same pt is anxious about many things and not wanting to leave the room .

These patients are also starting to be more frequent . How can 5-10 mins truly be sufficient ?

Sometimes their anxiety makes me anxious as well about the q . Bad
