Typical outpatient clinic room. Here, two patients are seen at once by two different physicians. There is no privacy between patients; however, no one seems to notice. Other patients will sometimes join in on the history and physical exam of another if they feel they have been waiting too long. No one seems to mind. Physicians are also constantly being interrupted by clerks and housestaff. Again, it is all taken in stride. In the US, our physicians would be really flustered by all the intrusions, I think.
