First thing is to understand the situation, all human are sensitive specially some cases of illness or disease might be severe for the individual so it is a common reaction.
- Give them a smile and if it is necessary you can advice them to check for second opinion - Give them copy of the result - Smile and always give them the positive atmosphere - Hold your grounds, as long as you are 100% sure about the diagnosis then be firmed and just do tell them straight.

First i will think why they are unstaisfied with report and what was their expectation of their report. and my reaction would be silent smile. I ll try to convince by telling my experience and also make them realize giving fake reports never going give me or them happiness. I will also ask them love their body and listen what it trying to say and trust the reports they got .Move forward with a smile.
