Why is a health care social worker more suited to helping a patient during hospital discharge than a doctor?

health care social worker has specific training in psychology and sociology that a doctor does not have. A doctor is trained to treat the physical and mental states of a patient. While some doctors are also trained in psychology and sociology, health care social workers have advanced training in those fields and can assist persons in the adjustments out of a hospital.
