Daniel is an oncologist who must discuss the treatment of a tumor he found on his 34-year-old patient’s lung. His patient is newly married, with one child and another baby on the way. Daniel knows that he can’t give a 100 percent prediction of the patient’s outcome with surgery on the tumor, but he must project as much confidence as possible while speaking to them. What might happen if Daniel did not come across as confident?
