Extra Blog Post for the March Marvels
Change, change, change! It seems to be the only thing happening right now in my senior project. Recently, my Independent Component 2 has been changed. A documentary interviewing and following patients and their experiences with doctors, was not going to cut it for me. Although the prospect seemed like an interesting feat, I decided to do something that would better and more directly help me answer my essential question. More specifically, I decided that I would take advantage of the assignment and use it to research more in depth, one specific answer. For my new independent component, I have decided to research more in depth one of my answers and create a powerpoint explaining the answer. I am excited for this new feat.

Blog 17: Answer 3
1. What is the best way for a doctor to increase patient satisfaction?
2. One of the best ways for a doctor to increase patient satisfaction is to know
the patient's culture and lifestyle.
3. If the doctor knows the patient's language, they can properly treat them. ex:
sign language or Spanish communicator.
If the doctor knows the background of the patient, they can know where the
patient comes from and give back that persona or attitude. To show the patient
that they know who they are and can build relationship with them instead of the
patient feeling like just another number. AKA personal connection.
If the doctor knows the person's beliefs, they can use those to help make the
patient more comfortable.

5. To know a patient's culture and lifestyle is so important because the doctor can
create a personal connection to the patient, making the patient more comfortable
because they will feel as if they are talking to a friend. The doctor will be
able to treat the patient better because of the patient's willingness to open
up, and the patient will be satisfied.
