Clearly you’re not ok becsuse you’re seeing a doctor, but aren’t you supposed to be polite to the nurse? But then again the nurse is doing your intake assessment.

    The nurse is asking you to summarize your chief complaint (the reason why you came to the doctor).

      Definitely not because they usually ask you this while you’re in the hallway, still walking towards the doctor’s room. They don’t want you sharing your medical information publicly.
