The Communication Gap: “Should We Keep Waiting?”

You continue the consultation and give general advice without clearly explaining the urgency of Ny. M’s sudden neurological symptoms or providing specific instructions about when and where to seek further care.

After the consultation, her daughter remains uncertain about what to do next. A short time later, Ny. M’s right-sided weakness and difficulty speaking persist.

Her daughter contacts you again and asks:

“Doctor, she is still weak and having difficulty speaking. Should we keep waiting?”

You now need to correct the communication gap and provide a clear, safe plan.
