I see no "laudatory remarks" in what I sketched, merely an acknowledgment of the patient's central role. Does this violate medical decorum? It was not felt to do so at the medical school where my wife taught. | |
| Nov 24, 2013 at 2:05 | comment | added | Maulik V | I called a spade a spade and answered what the OP was concerned about in the shortest way! If we consider this case as building rapport we could probably start right from welcoming patient. This profession certainly asks for politeness but then every sentence not necessarily should have a laudatory remark. Also, Lateral (excluding as the medical term) does mean side part of something, side to side or the like. And yes, I'm a healthcare provider. | |
