DO you mean transactions or transcriptions. In transcriptions you are simply stating the facts as they may bear on the case.

For example saying a person is a 5'8" 255 lb obese 47y/o African American homosexual male in a 17 year monogomous relationship. would indicate disease and activity patterns which might affect a diagnosis. While it may seem unimportant to most cases, unfortunately, in our currently litiginous society, it a person was seen and was not tested for HIV when he had a neuropathic disorder as it was assumed to be due to diabetes related to his obesity. In court a lawyer could say that as the patient was gay and this fact was missed the patient was not tested for HIV and therefore his HIV induced CIDP was missed. (This, however, is unlikely as all patients are now routinely tested for HIV regardless of sexual orientation, but is used only as an example) Sexual orientation, marital status age, weight race could all be considered discriminatory statements but if put together they can indicate a pattern that can adjust a diagnosis.

What do you mean by medical transactions? Are you talking about a patient being asked about this during a routine exam or something?

Sexual orientation is not as important as the sexual contact itself. Certain groups of behaviors are associated with higher risks of contracting certain diseases, for example, the risk for contracting HIV is greater for those engaging in anal sex as opposed to vaginal sex.

In the past, questions were phrased in such a way that it targeted certain groups of people based on sexual orientation (gay men, specifically), but that kind of screening implies that gay men are more promiscuous and therefore at higher risk. By focusing on the sexual behaviors themselves, the type of sexual contact,the number of partners, the use of condoms, etc., you focus on the true risks, and help to prevent perpetuating negative stereotypes.

gay and, i think, proud. (Can one rather be happy with something one has no administration over? i'm uncertain.) Love the gays. Love the straights. Love the bi-women. nevertheless think of that *maximum* adult men who declare to be bisexual basically won't be able to stand the lable of "gay." a recent be taught on the college of Wisconsin does certainly instruct that maximum ladies are fluid of their sexuality, responding to erotica of the two gender in line with how its cutting-edge. a similar be taught exhibits that maximum adult men are stressful-under pressure to respond to erotica of one gender or the different, now not the two. The findings point out that bisexuality occurs greater evidently between maximum individuals of ladies and intensely rarely between adult men. that is amazingly what I constantly suspected. yet, howdy, self-% out besides you want.
