I stock treatments

English Medical Other
This doctor stocks treatments for the hereditary diseases of the musculoskeletal system.

Has a number of options? Has a stock of various medications? Anything else?

Thank you.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Thanks That makes more sense now - it sounds like some kind of market research. I wouldn't normally expect doctors to stock drugs, but presumably in this case they do. Could it be a hospital doctor?
boostrer (asker) May 31, 2021:
If it were clear that it is a pharmacy, I wouldn't have asked this question. The sentences are "Do you stock treatments for ..."; the answers are "yes/no". The respondents are doctors.
philgoddard May 31, 2021:
Well, it sounds strange: doctors don't "stock" treatments, though pharmacists do. Could it be a mistake for "I use stock treatments", ie standard ones? And could we have a few sentences of context, please?
Thanks!

It is English. I have only replaced the name of the disease and replaced the first person with the third person (confidentiality issues). The company is located in an English-speaking country. I do not know who wrote these sentences.

Is this a translation, or non-native English?

in your context "treatments" = "medicines"

"stock" means "in reserve" in case necessary

so: if necessary, I have what's needed to take care of it

Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : I don't see how this is different to my answer.

just means "available" and "I keep drugs on the premises" sounds like he/she is a drug dealer
agree Tina Vonhof (X) : 'Treatments' are healing procedures.
17 hrs
not only
agree Yvonne Gallagher : "I wouldn't overcomplicate this"
1 day 7 hrs
and neither would I Yvonne
agree Daryo : the key point: "I have them available in my own stock" as opposed to "having to send patients to buy them elsewhere" NOT as opposed to "keeping my own stock outside of my premises" / Nuances ...
1 day 11 hrs
"available" covers it and ty Daryo
