negative reactions from other healthcare professionals who may choose to skim over the report
as opposed to properly reading it word for word due to how unnecessarily elaborative the report
is. (citation needs to be added) Once the report has been received or established, the medical
treatment may proceed. This then involves another genre with in the medical community.
The creation of email has provided the medical community an invaluable assert in
keeping the practitioner and patient in contact. When a surgery or procedure needs to be done
following a conclusive examination, the patient must be notified about what is to follow and
must also give their consent regarding who can receive the information from the procedure
(citation needs to be added). Additionally, emails are useful in how they enable practitioners to
be able to inform their patient about a something like an appointment or about what needs to be
discussed without the need for a face to face meeting, phone call, or an immediate response
(citation needs to be added). The genre conventions of emails are that like letters, they should
include a formal addressing of the recipient to begin and end with a closing. Other conventions
are that they should directly reference the patient and be written almost as though the author is
having a monologue with them. Once communication between the practitioner and patient has
been established, and consent to publish information relating to their health conditions or
procedures has been given, then the third genre of the medical field is used, medical research
papers.
Medical research papers are ultimately one of the key factors to progressing medical
technology and understanding (citation needs to be added). They are written by evaluating the
results of procedures, patient histories, and by considering statistics that have shown a pattern of
any sort. Some of the prominent genre conventions of medical research papers are that they are

written with an observant perspective or are trying to argue the truth or inaccuracy of something
(citation needs to be added). Additionally, they contain facts from previous research cases or
statistics from large databases related to the subject of research. With the papers purpose being
scientifically prove a point, it needs to contain as little subjective thought or information as
possible as too much could make the paper unacceptably biased and hence would seem more like
it was written by a lawyer than someone who is a believer in scientific fact.
