Blog 19 – Third Answer



1. What is your EQ?
How can a team of medical professionals ensure the health and well-being of a patient?

2. What is your Answer #3?
A team of medical professionals can ensure the health and well-being of a patient through proper analysis and diagnosis.

3. Three reasons why answer #3 is true:
• One cannot receive proper treatment without first undergoing a proper analysis and diagnosis.
• Proper analysis and diagnosis is essential to ensuring the health and well-being of a patient.
• According to one of my sources, new doctors only spend about eight minutes with each patient, resulting in not being able to hear or listen to all the patients. Increasing this would give the patient more time to trust the doctor and say all his/her symptoms to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.

4. What printed source(s) best supports answer #3?
• Chen, Pauline. "For New Doctors, 8 Minutes Per Patient." Well For New Doctors 8 Minutes Per Patient. The New York Times, 30 May 2013. Web. 12 Oct. 2015. <http;//well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/05/30/for-new-doctors-8-minutes-per-patient/?_r=0>

5. Tie this together with a concluding thought.
This third answer further supports my previous answers of providing collaborative care and patient education. Although this seems quite logical, recently published articles one patient care that I have read always mention how doctors increasingly spend less and less time with their patients and thus increase their chances of providing the wrong treatment.
