<<the person taking the medical history comes to a conclusion by merely eyeballing the patient, rather than asking the patient for specifics>> Well, at times during the interview/assessment there is no need as it is obvious but depending on the patient and clinician, that Q is probed further if it is deemed an important piece of data(in my experience)..now, I worked with kids as I said in 2 multi-ethnic, racial and very politically correct cities/teaching institutions (Boston/SF)...I have no doubt that there are varying practices depending on the institution all around the country[edit: even the same city]..God knows there are varying levels of intervention in very cut and dry medical circumstances..I can write a book on the transports we brought to our PICU because of outlying hospital lack of services and knowledge! Thanks for the discussion..I suppose my main point was indeed about the value of assessing racial/ethnic class of a patient since it can provide essential information to elicit the best outcome..
