Now, a recent survey has shown that this is a common occurrence. According to the survey,  hospital patients are rarely able to identify their doctors by name or to describe their roles in the patients\u2019 care.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers at the University of Chicago interviewed 2,807 adults admitted to the school\u2019s hospital over a 15-month period. The patients were asked about the roles of the various physicians attending to them and to name the doctors on those teams. The medical teams consisted of three to four people.<\/p>\n<p>Amazingly,  75 % of the patients surveyed were unable to name a single doctor who participated in their care. Of the 25 % who offered a name, only 40 % were correct. The patients who claimed to understand the roles of their doctors were more likely to correctly identify at least one of their doctors.<\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finchmccranie.com\/blog\/hospitalized-patients-cannot-i\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading Hospitalized Patients Cannot Identify Treating Doctors\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Atlanta lawyers interview potential clients on a daily basis concerning their injuries and hospitalizations.
