As a radiographer, there will be times when you will have a patient or family member yell at you or even call you a derogatory name. Generally, it will not be because of something you did but because they are uninformed, scared, under the influence, or in pain. The interviewers would like to gain insight into your communication and problem-solving skills and see that you can handle this situation calmly and professionally. Describe how you would speak to a patient or family member if they yelled at you or said something rude and uncalled for.
