In most cases, patients will be able to see specialists once they have been referred to them by their primary care doctors (who are general practitioners). Moreover, both kinds of physicians can be able to prescribe medication to patients, they have a medical degree and will work with an individual to identify the root causes of the problem. As a result, doctors will spend their time trying to diagnose and pin point the causes of the problem.

Cares for Nurses" by Cecil Deans (2004) When people become healthcare practitioners today, perhaps one of the furthest things from their minds is the increasingly violent nature of their potential workplaces. In his article, "Who Cares for Nurses" (2004), though, Cecil Deans makes the point that North American healthcare settings are very violent places to work and many institutions are not providing their practitioners with sufficient protections, and some are
This study seeks to show the direct relationship between the two, rather than the indirect relationship.

Other research has focused primarily on the length of stay, not on the expected length of stay. The difference between the two approaches
