# Context
Original working context:
- Act as a clinical communication expert. I need to prepare for a challenging patient consultation: Situation: {{complaint_boundary_issue_non_compliance_second_opinion_request_angry_patient_refusal_of_treatment}} Background: {{brief_clinical_and_relational_context}} My goal for this consultation: {{what_do_i_want_to_achieve}} My main concern: {{what_am_i_worried_about_going_wrong}} Write:
- 1. An opening statement that acknowledges the patient's perspective
- 2. 3 key messages I need to convey β€” with specific language for each
- 3. Likely responses from the patient and how to handle each
- 4. What to do if the consultation escalates (de-escalation script)
- 5. A professional, clear closing β€” whether the consultation resolves or not
- 6. Documentation points to record in the notes after the consultation

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

Use before any consultation where you anticipate conflict, distress, or a clinically or relationally complex dynamic.

PRO TIP

If you feel unsafe at any point in a consultation, it is always appropriate to pause, ask a colleague to join, or reschedule β€” your safety is not negotiable.
