I utilize both primary and secondary sources to obtain the information needed to establish my argument. For my primary sources, I conducted interviews with three physicians and used a genre analysis of two samples of patient notes. In my interviews, I asked questions pertaining to the subject of my study and was provided with detailed responses. These responses supplied me with great insight on my study and revealed many factors that were previously unknown to me. I used probing questions to gain clarity on subjects introduced by the interviewees that I was unfamiliar with. For example, when asking about the skills needed to write patient notes, Dr. Brown, the interviewee, mentioned that organization is crucial because it influences the structure of the notes. Because I was not aware of the significance of the structure in patient notes, I inquired about this topic by asking, “Why is structure important?” (46). Dr. Brown then informed me of how structure is essential for accurately communicating information between medical professionals. The idea of structure being a major aspect of conveying patient information helped shape my entire research paper. I focused more time investigating the structure of the two genres and how it affected the clarity of the information being transmitted between the medical professionals. During my interviews, I had the physicians verify the note samples I obtained from Internet sources to ensure their authenticity. I then analyzed these samples to gain further knowledge of the differences and similarities of the two genres utilized by field.
