Real Post #2: Interview

My family doctor couldn't be reached yesterday or today, so i decided to interview a family friend that is a family practitioner at a local clinic. Dr. Broker. 

He told me that there are several types of writing and communication that he encounters on a daily basis. He first stress that the main communication that he had was with his patients. Developing a friendly but professional relationship was needed in all cases. He said that he likes joking around with the children. I made a joke that he was like patch adams, and he agreed to some extent. If the relationship between the patient and the doctor isn't right the patient could be left with doubt on some issues discussed with him or may not trust in discussing other important heath issues due to lack of security from the relationship. 

Also the communication with his nurses was another point he stressed. When people come to work they want to enjoy their job as much as possible. He said that the communication between the nurses and the doctors is a main factor in the environment in the doctor's offices. 

Next I asked him what kind of writing he did in his profession. He listed of several forms. Stating prescriptions weren't the only things doctors have to do, referrals, prescriptions, report on the patient, many different types of forms. He said the smallest mistake can be very detrimental and that he takes a time in making sure everything is done right.
