Okay, so now I'll give you some feedback for this. So, first thing is you should be natural, okay, no need to worry whether you know anything, any procedure or you have an experience of working as a doctor, and you have treated a number of patients. So based on that experience, you have to speak as friendly as possible and how don't think that this is an artificial one, naturally, how you treat the patients like that, you will go with this interview, that's all so, there is nothing to worry and you treat it as a normal daily routine. And you start speaking and speaking in the same style as how you do every day, it's only in your mother tongue you will be speaking or some other language you will be speaking maybe we'll do or Hindi or something else, but now here what you have to do is you have to speak in English that is the only difference otherwise everything is fine. And next one when you are speaking no need to panic no need to be afraid, you have to be relaxed and you speak as normal as possible. Be you only the thing is you are the doctor you are a professional and you know everything you should have a lot of command you should know the subject knowledge and whatever subject you know, based on that when you have to deliver the goods nothing else. So, you have to speak first you have to know what why the patient came what is the reason what is the background, you have to get every information from the patient then afterwards you have to give him suggestions or treatments or medication or what he has to do you have to explain him about whatever you are asked to do, you have to give him a detailed description. Then afterwards you can ask him if he has any doubts, you can ask the doubts and you can clear those doubts. So, once you clear those doubts then you can already after clearing these jobs, you can give some suggestions, what he can do for example, you can tell him how he can handle the situation better. So, you can give all those things like you can give him description regarding access, what all the points are discussed in the roleplay card that all those points you have to discuss and you have to speak for five minutes okay.
