Abstract:
The current era of an abundance of gadgets and use of electronic media overwhelm the individual and lead to distraction and fragmentation of one's attention. Both patients and their physician's should remain cognizant of the deleterious impact of such devices on the intimacy of the doctorpatient encounter. This essay presents an incident demonstrating a clash between patient autonomy or convenience and the physician's agenda triggered by the renowned fidget spinner. The repercussions of unnecessary interference can be prevented if all members of the interaction make extra efforts to safeguard the unperturbed sanctity of the precious moments of the consultation.
