I’m studying for my Philosophy class and need an explanation.

Many patients report experiences of epistemic injustice in health care, with their reports of pain or descriptions of symptoms being denied or dismissed. To combat this problem, clinical bioethicists emphasize the important of the physician-patient relationship, arguing that a focus on respect, clear communication, and shared decision-making are ways to promote epistemic justice for patients.Step 1: Your Initial Post – Describe an encounter between a patient and a health care provider in which you believe epistemic injustice occurred. Many of you probably have a story of your own, or from someone you know, but there are plenty of cases that made the news, as well. Identify what aspects of the encounter were epistemically unjust. Be as clear and detailed in your moral reasoning as you can.

As outlined in the first two chapters of BSZ (Managerial Economics and Organizational Architecture), economics focuses on the choices that people make. In the simplest of terms, we can consider a choice to be rational if and when the benefits of that choice are at least as great as its costs (or, conversely, if the costs are no greater than the benefits). Similarly, we say that individuals and organizations operate efficiently if their choices are designed in the best possible way to achieve their objectives while minimizing all relevant costs.With this in mind, to set the stage for the rest of the course, your first assignment is to write a short essay briefly describing an inefficient work situation you have encountered or observed. As part of your answer, please make sure to discuss how you believe that the situation at hand could have been improved.
