As a doctor, having to call a family member to give updates or ask about information is like Russian roulette for that reason alone. I always take my time and go slow and as clear as I possibly can and pray to God that it goes smoothly if the price is that I stutter for the rest of the day. Thankfully no cases of panic ever occurred as sometimes if I know I’ll stutter, I’ll just start with “I have a stutter. So please be patient while a inquire about my patient”. Always gets a chuckle out of it (of course, only if the patient is well and coming with something mild).
