Blog Week 6

Last Friday in the clinic, I was able to work with the doctor that I enjoy the most working with.  One of the reasons why she is a very god and efficient doctor is because she lets the medical assistants transcribe her notes into the computer software that they use, and as a result, she goes from patient to patient relatively quickly.  As most days in this clinic, many diabetics attend to be treated and checked, and since most are Hispanic, I get to translate to the doctors.  The reason why I like to work with this doctor is because I can seethe attributes of a good and caring doctor and how I feel every medical professional should act in front of the patient.  Because I get to work with different doctors every time, I can compare the different ways that they show as they are dealing with a patient that does not speak English.  Unlike some doctors that tend to ignore the patient and only focus on what I say, she speaks directly to them showing care and concern, which in turn create a sense of comfort in the patient.  Outside of the examination room, in the small window of free time that we have, we talked about medically related issues as well as medical school and her work outside the clinic.  I think this attitude is essential to make a good working environment, and more importantly it enables for the better servie to the patient.
