What is the medical term meaning pain that can only be observed by the patient?

Subjective pain can only be observed by the patient. Many definitions of pain, however, include the fact that it is a subjective experience. While we can observe results of pain (grimacing, abdominal guarding, antalgic gait), the objective observer can not directly observe pain in another person.


What values do you see displayed by others at your job?

The observation and resulting commentary on values can only be subjective, since one's own values will dictate how the values of others are observed and reported. A person's values will only be displayed through his/her interaction with others and with his/her environment. Because of the foregoing statements, it becomes difficult to answer the question, since the values observed by one person may differ from those observed by another. It should therefore be understood that the answer will refer only to the workplace in question, and could be one of many different,or even contradictory, observations.

What is a syndrome?

A syndrome is a collection of recognizable features, behaviors, signs and symptoms (as reported by a patient) which frequently occur together and can be observed or detected collectively to identify a particular illness, genetic disorder or other medical condition. In some cases a particular syndrome may have only one cause, such as Down Syndrome. Others have multiple possible causes such as Parkinsonian Syndrome (often shortened to Parkinson's), or in many cases the cause may be unknown. Some syndromes may have limited treatment options or are groups of symptoms and behaviors that may not be treatable or are still under investigation by medical professionals. The most important distinction to realize is that a syndrome is not a cause of disease or even a disease in and of itself but rather it is the collection of side effects caused by something else. For example AIDS (Auto Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is the collection of side effects which includes a weak immune system; however, HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the actual disease which is contagious. People do not catch AIDS; they catch HIV which than causes the syndrome (or collection of symptoms) known as AIDS. It is a commonly made mistake to use the terms incorrectly. But from a technical standpoint HIV is the virus, and AIDS (which is a syndrome) is the list of side effects.
