Abstract:
Medical doctors need the skill to acquire how they are responding to inappropriate patient's requests. The FAVER approach starts with recognizing inner uncomfortable feelings, which signals that the patient's request is inappropriate. Assuming that the patient doesn't know that their demands are "immoral." The medical doctors need to say "NO" in an explicit state and give excuses such as inadequate medical care, illegal, dishonest, or against policy and avoid lengthy explanations.
Keywords:
Inappropriate request; Patient's demand.
