Doctor

Good morning. I am Dr. Susie Smith. Are you Richard Clarkson?

Patient

Yes

Doctor

How would you like me to address you today?

Patient

Richard is fine.

Doctor

It is a pleasure to meet you, Richard. May I ask you a few more background questions before we start?

Patient

Sure.

Doctor

In our effort to promote an inclusive and respectful environment, we like to know our patient’s pronouns. The pronouns used when others talk about me are "she" and "her"’ How about you? What pronouns should we use for you?

Patient

I use “he” and “him,” I guess.

Doctor

Great. Thank you.
