How important is it when you ask for a medical history that you are 'qualified' to understand the answers?

I am a qualified nurse but don't ask because A; I am Not giving anyone a clinical or 'health' consultation. And B; even I wouldn't understand some of the answers.

I am not aware for instance of a course on say, 'hypnosis for cancer', that gives even a rudimentary understanding of what the conditions do or are.

Hi, I feel this is a good point as not medically qualified either - I do ask about any heart, breathing problems though - as to be aware that when the breathing patterns slows there could be the possibility of a complication and the client is aware of this- I also ask about epilepsy and and ECT treatment. It doesn't mean though, that I have to understand the plumbing of a triple bypass.
Hopefully this covers legally though, however they sign that it is ok to contact the GP to check it is ok to go ahead.
This covers all bases as it were for myself and the client, Mind you, once they sign the contract they take responsibility for themselves anyway.
