Individual Post #2- 2nd Interview

For this assignment, I interviewed Dr. Ramirez from Seneca, South Carolina. He said that out of all the communication he takes part in day to day, the most important is his communication with his patients. He said often times people come in for their visit, sit down, and tell him an entire story, and he has to pick out only the important parts. Sometimes, depending on the story, he said this could be the most difficult part, also. As far as technical writing, he said he doesn't really do many write-ups at his level, other than what he writes for other doctors' knowledge. Dr. Ramirez said the best preparation for the communication in his field is on-site experience. He claims that in order to understand how to most effectively communicate with patients and other doctors, experience is necessary.
