To prove how amazingly this works, I took two students into an H+P with me and had the patient talk for an hour straight before I asked a single HPI question.<BR/><BR/>Learn to chat with patients.

Not only do people automatically start giving out private health information to any doctor/medical student/nurse/nursing student they meet, even when they don't, you feel like asking, "Does your sleep apnea make you drowsy during the day?"
