doctor–patient relationship

Read a random definition: other income

A quick definition of doctor–patient relationship:

The doctor-patient relationship is when a person goes to a doctor to get help with their health. The doctor has a duty to make sure the patient understands what treatment they will get and agrees to it. This relationship is important because the patient trusts the doctor to help them feel better. It's like when you go to a teacher for help with your homework, you trust them to teach you and help you learn.

A more thorough explanation:

The doctor-patient relationship refers to the association between a medical provider and a patient who is being diagnosed or treated. This relationship imposes a duty on the doctor to ensure that the patient gives informed consent for treatment.

For example, when a patient visits a doctor, they trust the doctor to provide them with the best possible care and treatment. The doctor, in turn, has a responsibility to act in the patient's best interest and provide them with accurate information about their condition and treatment options. This relationship is based on trust and mutual respect.

Other examples of professional relationships include a lawyer-client relationship, where a client relies on a lawyer's specialized training to provide legal advice and representation, and an employer-employee relationship, where an employee is employed to perform services in the affairs of another, who in turn has the right to control the person's physical conduct in the course of that service.

Sent in my transcript at 6 am today and it’s processing. Think it will be processed before lsac closes tmrw?

I would say it is a toss up, for how much LSAC charges us for everything they are extremely efficient in processing and sending stuff out BUT with a 30% uptake in applicants and the holidays it may be significantly slower unless it is ran through and processed by a computer program. Even if it takes them longer to process it, not like there is anyone at a school to request and review it after LSAC does their thing
Do we know if any of the t14 open at all this week
just called Fordham. they said there will be decisions going out today
