Communication between patients and medical professionals is characterised by frequent misunderstandings due to medical, psychological, and relational considerations arising to a large extent from unfamiliarity with specialised medical language. Such processes can be exemplifi ed by the phrase pacjent nie współpracuje (lit. the patient is not cooperating), which has a specifi c meaning in medical language and can be interpreted by patients as evaluating them negatively. Understanding in this communication must be reached through negotiation of the meaning of specialist words, expressions, and phrases.
