A 34-year-old Native American woman recently diagnosed with acute leukemia tells the physician that she wants to go to a traditional healer for treatment instead of undergoing chemotherapy. Which of the following responses by the physician is most appropriate?
A) "I recommend that you go to a traditional healer that I have worked with in the past so that I will be familiar with the therapy you will be receiving."
B) "I will refer you to a therapist so you can work this out. Please don't be ashamed about this. Many people seek psychiatric help."
C) "I'm sorry, but I can no longer treat you because I do not agree with your decision. But you have to do what you feel is best."
D) "In addition to seeing a traditional healer, I would like you to consider undergoing chemotherapy."
E) "Let's set up a follow-up appointment and we can talk about this then."

Why not choice E. Don't you think it is appropriate for the doctor to discuss the issues concerning the patient at a follow up appointment

You have to settle it right now, she needs to be treated ASAP. If you set up an appointment, she may not come at all.
