Write a 250-500-word essay considering the representation of the doctor/nurse-patient relationship or the physician’s treatment of a patient in readings by Williams and Reiser. Pick one text by one of these authors and discuss the characteristics that are associated in the text with the caregiver’s treatment of the patient and the patient’s (or the patient’s family’s) perceptions of the doctor. What can the text teach us about the ideals and the realities of medical practice and/or research?
Your thesis statement and argument should respond to the question/s noted or develop your own focused question/s related to the readings.
Keep in mind:
Each short essay should include the following components: 1. a descriptive title, 2. an introduction that includes a thesis statement presenting your argument in a sentence or two, 3. concrete evidence to develop and/or support that thesis, 4. a conclusion that wraps up and/or summarizes your thesis.
While you do not have to do secondary research, it is essential to have a Works Cited page if you do consult other writers. Your essay should use examples from the text/s you are writing about. Resist the temptation to summarize the text or to quote extensively (more than a phrase or two) from it.
Use 11- or 12-point font and double-space the essay.
