The most surprising patient request

I’ve had a lot of interesting requests at the front desk, but one that surprised me was when a patient asked if we had a designated ‘quiet room’ for patients feeling anxious before their appointments. It made me think about how much stress people carry, and the need for a little calm. Anyone else had unexpected requests that changed their perspective on patient care?
