Abstract

This article is devoted to the study of oral medical discourse in doctor-patient communication, which many scientists consider as a linguistic model. The relationship between the doctor and the patient is one of the actual problems in modern society. The relationship between the doctor and the patient has evolved that is why it became necessary to inform and obtain the patient's consent to this or that medical intervention. The doctor has the task to decide which information is the medical secrecy and which is open for the patient. One of the main tasks of the medical discourse is to form the right dialogue between the doctor and the patient in order to identify the cause of the disease, choose a method of treatment and explain actions using the available vocabulary. During the conversation with a patient, the medical specialist uses special terms and chooses the right tactics of behavior, remembering that it is possible to cause not only positive emotion and reaction, but also to provoke a psychological trauma.
