In order to maintain the best possible level of patient care all members of the medical team must know the laws pertaining to their job and the specific situation. If these laws are broken, even if the person was unaware of the laws, there will be severe consequences such as jail time, loss of a medical license, hefty fines, or lawsuits.
I don't think there is a difference
Answer:
It is extremely important. There are various medical terms that doctors have learned plenty of times, but to a patient it may be the very first time they have ever heard of it.
In the healthcare industry I have seen through my own eyes how long it can take for a doctor to tend to a patient. Patients often spend 30+ minutes just to see a doctor to get a simple prescription. Such as a case for an asthma patient who simply wants to refill a prescription but needs doc authorization. Wait times are often too long, and doctors seem to rush through when there is high traffic.
Doctors will usually sympathize with patients by reflecting a certain mood. Happy for good news, sad and serious tone when there is a more serious problem.
If a doctor an simply not speak to a patient, it creates many problems. For one, they cannot relay any info to the patient. 2, a translator may not know the direct translation because they may not have as much knowledge as a doctor about medical terms that the doctor may have studied more in depth.
Personally, I would think it’s B. but again, you would just have to look over their standards to figure out the answer
