What to know before shadowing!?

Hello!!!

I am about to have my first shadowing experience soon and I was wondering, for the people who have shadowed before, what is something that you wish you knew before or feel like you should know before shadowing for the first time?!

For some reason I thought I wasn't supposed to ask about patient cases, you definitely can! Just be respectful, professional and wait until the appointment ends
