1) In the first scenario, it seemed like the bad physician interaction played twice instead of showing the good physician interaction. Maybe look and see if this needs to be fixed
2) I think scenario 3 on CAM should be updated. I think that most providers would be quick to go along with a patient wanting massage therapy. The more common and problematic scenario I see in 2024 is use of medical marijuana, and this is a more challenging issue for which cme would be helpful. But perhaps this area is better suited for its own course.
