Please rewrite " rushed physician encounters" in more plain English.
Context:
Patients also can benefit from some levity during their doctor's visit. We've heard from many patients who are growing increasingly dissatisfied after receiving medical care. They report little eye contact, decreased face-to-face time, and feeling depersonalized. These are all consequences of a medical system that promotes rushed physician encounters.
@oristarA,
These are all consequences of a medical system
that requires high patient turnover.
@dadpad,
High patient turnover = a great stream of patient flow?
@oristarA,
rushed physician encounters = doctors who don't have the time necessary for each patient. They rush from one patient to the next.
@oristarA,
Quote:High patient turnover = a great stream of patient flow?
Yes oristar
more patients in the same amount of time.
on second thoughts high patient
turnaround is better.
Turnover could be taken to mean patients who come for treatment once but never return because of some fault in their treatment.
