Document Summary

These questions were asked by the presocratic philosophers. They worked a little before the hip- pocratic physicians but there is partly at overlap. They also asked these ques- tions about the universe: physician probably knew about their theories, hippocratic collection - 68 treates, they share common ideas. Body is made up of solid parts and fluid parts. The solid parts can be felt through palpation and some are known through animal sacrifices. Fluid components - one knows what comes out of the body and the most important part for life is breath, air and blood. Air is taken into the other part of the body into the chest. Thoracic cavity (upper cavity) and the abdomen is the lower cavity. The abdomen consists of the lower part and upper part, the stomach and the intestines. If air is stopped for a short time, the body fails. Blood is also important - it is replenished by food.

The Importance of Physician-Patient Communication

Patient and physician communication is the key to prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. For many patients, talking to a physician can be an intimidating process. Effective communication can be reduced by the limited time that patients often have to express their health concerns with their health provider.

Explain how miscommunication in physician-patient interaction might impact recovery of a patient. Justify your answer.

According to you, which are the two most critical examples of miscommunication between physicians and female patients according to Sue Fisher (1984)? What are Eric Cassellâs (1985) criteria for effective communication? Justify your answers with appropriate research and reasoning.

Researchers associated with South Miami Hospital (SMH) developed a new experimental laser treatment for heart patients. Its development team and the physicians who use the laser consider it to be a lifesaving advance. It should be noted that the physicians who are touting the laser hold a significant stake in the company that produces the laser. To offer a substitute for a balloon angioplasty to treat heart blockages, the experimental laser was developed at a cost of $250,000. SMH estimates that it will cost $20,000 to install the laser. The procedure requires a nurse at $50 per hour, a technician at $30 per hour, and a physician who is paid $750 per hour. Patients are billed $3,000 for the procedure compared to $1,500 for the traditional balloon treatment. Determine the break-even quantity for the new procedure. Is it ethical for the patient to pay for R&D costs prior to the introduction of the final product? Is it proper for physicians to recommend this procedure when they have a vested interest in its usage?
