Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement reflects a biomedical view, which assumes that health problems are the result of biological or physiological abnormalities that can be identified and treated through medical interventions. The patient's focus on returning to work indicates a desire to address the symptoms so that he can resume his duties as soon as possible, rather than a more comprehensive approach to addressing the root causes of his condition.
