Prompt to use:
I just finished a C&P exam. Interview me while my memory is fresh. Ask who examined me, how long the exam lasted, what conditions were examined, what tests were performed, whether range of motion was measured with a goniometer if relevant, what I told the examiner, what the examiner asked, what the examiner did not ask, whether flare-ups/repeated use/functional loss/work impact were discussed, and whether I think the exam was incomplete. Then turn my answers into a clean post-exam summary I can save. Do not attack the examiner personally and do not invent facts.
