OMGosh, that sounds terrifying. I'm not an expert. I hope people won't ask tough questions. I'm just a lowly undergrad who doesn't know much at all about psychology/psychiatry/conferences/interacting in the real world. LOL!

Maybe one of the consent questions should be: "Do you understand that you might be so embarrassed that you would rather die?"
To which I'll reply: "Yes, I'll risk my life to see Dr. Bob."
OK, I seriously hope I'm just thinking of the absolute worse right now!
