24. | CKD-P19: | Well, some—if—if I’ve got plenty of urine to pass, put it that way, um, it flows quite well. But as I—I’m trying to, um, articulate, when I started taking this Indapamide … | Pt starts to answer question, then changes topic to impact of medication |
25. | Doc7: | So let’s—let’s keep—let’s—let’s put that aside because that’s actually building a cause and effect relationship, which is—which is not—not the intent. Just describe your symptoms to me. Just describe your symptoms. Let’s—let’s forget that—that it’s related to the Indapamide because—just—just describe what happens when you go to pass urine. | Doctor explains reasons to leave discussion of medication aside, returns focus to q1 multiple times |
