Carlie Fleming Mrs. Stanley English 12 27 October 2016 An Anesthesiologist Anesthesiologists are physicians who administer and determine what type of anesthetic treatment is to be used for the patient prior to surgery, as well as positioning the patient on the operating table in a manner that will be helpful to the surgery. Following strict medical guidelines, the anesthesiologist takes into account the patient’s current health, any medications they are taking, and the type of surgery that is being performed. While the surgery is taking place, the anesthesiologist monitors the patient’s critical life functions to make sure no complications arise. After the surgery is over, the patient’s well-being has to be monitored as the anesthetic wears…

I agree with you on watch the tone of how you say it and your facial expression. It is extremely important as the medical assistant, the tone we used and our expression toward the patient. Every time I went to the doctor office, some MA speak with me on a bad look, and they don't even look at me when I explain what my health problem was. When that happed, I felt upset, and I felt like they don't care me at all. For that reason, I couldn't trust those kind of an AM and I felt like my health condition get worse.…
In regard to diction, it may be common use in the health professional’s field to discuss the deterioration of health in this matter. However, when exposed to outsiders, it comes off as if Rosenfield et al. is not taking the matter seriously enough. As a result, the overall argument becomes weaker and does not support the argument as…

Silence, Power and Communication in the Operating Room In the operating room, effective communication is essential for a procedure to go smoothly because we are dealing with peoples’ lives. Sometime, silence and quietness are useful in the operating room because they indicate an experienced, comfortable, working OR team. To investigate why silence occurs in the operating room, we must understand what roles does silence and speech plays in the operating room. There are three forms of silence that we must discuss, “(1) absence of communication, made evident by prior actions or communication; (2) lack of response to a direct address by another, or responding with silence to another’s question or directive; and (3) aspects of delivery that blur the lines between speech and silence, such as…
In the article, Jargon - Good and Bad, Joseph D. Edler discusses the pros and cons of jargon and advises that jargon should only be used if the audience will understand it, which is consistent with my scene because the doctor did not anticipate the needs of his audience and improperly used jargon, causing a breakdown. Jargon can be used to increase efficiency among members of a field but can also confuse and prevent effective communication. Jargon, when used in an appropriate setting, can ease communication and be a real asset. Edler explains that by using jargon, “A single term...can be made to stand for a whole paragraph” (537).…

Introduction Medicalization is a word used to define a procedure where nonmedical issues become treated and determined as a medical condition causing it to be subject to a diagnosis, treatments, preventions or even a medical study. Medical issues change all the time due to new evidence or from changing social attributes and more. Medicalization is a strong influence on the views and beliefs of society. This essay denotes medicalization, discusses a light history of nonmedical problems becoming medical problems due to the views society had on certain behaviours, examines ‘The Sick Role’, and analyses ‘Normalization’ while linking all these points to social control. While medicine in today’s century is for relieving us from pain and restoring…
I must ensure that the skills [communication, teamwork, active listening and organization skills] I have learned are well applied during my clinical placement. Effective communication is very important in the health care field. As a radiographer, maintaining a positive attitude towards others, explaining jargon words to patients and seeking help from health care professionals when necessary are some examples of effective communication skills (Crawford & Bonham, 2006). For example, during placement, I must try to remain professional, objective and optimistic when speaking to patients. I must ensure care, sympathy and empathy for patients.…
• Identify two areas in which you were effective (and why) and one or two areas you should improve (and why). In simulation this week, I was effective in remembering the majority of the steps for the head to toe (I always seem to forget orientation and capillary refill). I quickly realized at the end if I had left out any steps and by the end of simulation I felt much more confident in completing a head to toe exam. I also did a good job of noticing what my peers missed during their head to toe exam.…
There has been a history of poor communication in the medical field that has stemmed from physicians not being able to communicate well. Physicians are having issues trying to use medical terminology and also convey the meaning of the terminology to their patients. Some patients walk away from the doctor 's office feeling as though they still don 't understand what exactly is going on with them. Physicians do not realize that the medical terminology is creating a disconnect between their patients. Communication in the Health Care System is a skill that is necessary for Physicians; however, they lack the ability to listen, speak w/o using medical jargon, and write effectively.…
