agree  NetTra: Yo así lo he visto.
8 mins
  -> Gracias, NetTra.
neutral  Katarina Peters: only 1,280,000 Google hits vs. 3,610,000 for Patient's Attorney (note "del paciente")
25 mins
  -> I used Google to determine the actual nature of this position, which must be filled by a DOCTOR, therefore Attorney does not fit at all.
agree  Christopher Malloy: agree, this is the commonly used term for what is being described
4 hrs
  -> Gracias, Chris.
agree  Rebecca Jowers: Yes, in this context "Patient Advocate". (In Spain called el "Defensor del Paciente") And obviously the Google hits reflect the fact that a patient can have an attorney if involved in a claim or lawsuit, but I don't believe that is the context here.
5 hrs
  -> Gracias, Rebecca.
agree  Noni Gilbert Riley: Rebecca´s comment backs up my feelings.
