Healthcare professionals use a lot of medical terms, abbreviations, acronyms, and symbols to communicate with each other. How important is it for a healthcare professional to communicate with a patient in a language that a layperson would understand? What has been your experience with healthcare professionals? Do you think they dedicate enough time and efforts to explain the disease, diagnosis, treatment, and so on to patients? What can they do to make the patient comfortable? Many patients speak a language other than English. What do you think are the challenges for healthcare professionals in communicating with such patients? What tools and techniques do you think healthcare professionals should use to help non-English-speaking patients understand their treatments and diagnoses? If English isn’t your first language, how would you want healthcare professionals to treat and communicate with you?
