Consultation |
P198: | ‘I panic less.’ |
GP: | ‘What do you do to panic less?’ |
P198: | ‘Just keep calm and try to breathe.’ |
GP8: | ‘Okay. Talk me through it.’ |
P198: | ‘I just go [inhales] like that and I try not to shake … I just start swallowing a lot (aha) and then just get up and I (ok).’ |
GP8: | ‘And then what do you do after that, do you know?’ |
P198: | ‘I open my mouth and I go, like you told me to.’ |
GP8: | ‘And does it work?’ |
P198: | ‘Yeah.’ (P198, consultation) |
GP TAR interview |
GP8: | I'm trying to demonstrate the fact that what her symptoms are showing is she can cope with it and she is doing something about it … so she knows she's feeling a bit panicky and the choking is not going to kill her … She panics less because she's got a better understanding of what's going on, so therefore she can manage it better in a stressful situation … “all I need to do is deep-breathe”.’ (P198, GP TAR) |
Patient TAR interview |
Interviewer (I): |
| ‘So what do you think he was trying to tell you in that little segment that we just listened to?’ |
P198: | ‘That there's nothing wrong with me.’ |
I: | ‘And what do you think he is trying to achieve with that?’ |
P198: | ‘Not just saying it but believe it as well.’ |
I: | ‘And did that happen for you?’ |
P198: | ‘Well it has, it's getting there. It's not fully there but I'd say about 80%, it's getting there.’ (P198, patient TAR) |
