Post #3 Comments on other's interview's

I will comment on Cathie's interview first. I find it interesting that the most important correspondence be between a government agency and the public and not between two agencies. I also find it rather funny that the documents have to be “translated” for the general public to understand them, as I know this takes extra time and effort.

I will now comment on Amy’s interview. My parents are in the medical field, so I have seen how horrible the handwriting can be. I have heard many pharmacists have to get a nurse that knows the doctor to try to comprehend what he/she has written on the pad; however, that nurse sometimes has to go to someone else or even to the doctor himself/herself to know what the doctor has written. I can see where this adds to much wasted time and how important that kind of communication can be.

I will also comment on Alan’s post. I agree with what he posted as far as information having to be exact and correct. I have seen many videos and heard many stories of bridges collapsing, structures falling over and other horrible accidents because of bad communication.
