Anchor example

CPP

That’s why I am - yes, that’s why I am who I am or and that - yes, you experience a lot with the doctors simply then, a bit on the other side. So the subject has already been addressed with me. Just a little bit - maybe just then not exactly where I just wanted it to be. (2.1_CPP | 00:23:33)

HCP

- Maybe you should believe in what you believe in, whatever that is, if someone has chronic pain, maybe you should tell them that they need something … maybe something could be done about that, like a slight change so that maybe it would be better with the pain. (1.2_HCP | 01:11:22)

- Yes, but it’s difficult to do that without being overbearing and missionary. (1.2_HCP | 01:11:29)

- If you don’t believe in a punishing God, then maybe something could be said like he might not be so punishing. (1.2_HCP | 01:11:37)

- Yeah, yeah, that’s what I’m saying. (1.2_HCP | 01:11:44)
