At this Center the patients are Cancer related. As I spend more time as an intern at this Center I was inspired by Dr. Howard Bruckner work how he help and gave hope to many of these people, had myself raise some questions on the concepts and wonder what it would be like to be a part of the Bruckner Oncology team or somewhat relate to this field. I believe that Medical Assistant program classes at ASA College help gave me an opportunity to pursue my passion for helping those with medical problems and let me feel at ease on the first hand training at the Center of Bruckner Oncology. At the Bruckner Oncology Center I learn to Answering phones and making appointments ordering supplies, greeting patients, pulling and filing patient charts, calling in or faxing prescriptions, converting charts to electronic charting. Hopefully I can take these skills I learn and better myself in life.

An Interesting observation from the play is the relationship between the doctors and the patient as Dr. Vivian Bearing is undergoing her treatment process. The play also highlights some of the responsibilities of the doctors and hospital staff towards the patient. Dr. Harvey Kelekian and Dr. Jason Posner show little or no compassion towards Vivian and treat her as a research subject, while Vivian’s primary nurse Susie Monahan shows interest in her patient and tries to comfort her during the treatment process by being compassionate and caring. Various instances from the play highlight the attitude of the doctors and hospital staff towards the patient. When Dr. Harvey Kelekian breaks out to Vivian that she has been diagnosed with cancer, he assumes that since Vivian is an English professor, she would know medical terms too and goes on to explain her situation to her in high level medical terms, instead of explaining it to her in a simple and kind manner.

A people skill is very important to have in the medical office because you have to deal with patients every day. While having good people skill you have to learn how to communicate throughout the office to be able to get along well with your colleagues.

A Medical Administrative Assistant has to have good people skills to handle a situation like this and not get you angry at the patient.

Harms (2007) asserts that an individual must feel comfortable to share their issues and feelings with their HSP, For example when working with individuals, a HSP must engage with the client, making sure the client is aware that there best intention is to help the client reach a solution that is going to benefit their overall wellbeing and they will not pry or judge the clients life as there are many factors impacting an individual’s life (Harms, 2007). For Example, children at school may be neglected because a Parent cannot provide food or decent clothing for their child. Teachers and community members should not judge the individual’s life as there may be factors influencing the family such as having a low income or not understanding how to budget their money. Support can be directed to help the family be entitled to benefits from the government where a HSP can highlight the importance of nourishment for children growing to the Parents who may have a lack of education (Harms, 2010). In addition the Australian Association of Social Workers’ (AASW) Practice Standards for Social Workers (2003) state, HSPs provide support in at least two ways, “interpersonal practice, advocacy, group work, community work and social action” – directly and “research, social policy... development, administration, management and evaluation” (p.5) – indirectly.
