mit den Füßen abstimmen.
Die Frage ist natuerlich immer, was macht der Patient damit? Ich meine, wieviele Therapieunterbrechungen wird es geben? Das ist ein wichtiger Parameter weil die Patienten mit den Füßen abstimmen und sagen: Ich mach die Therapie oder: Ich mach die Therapie nicht.
Mir ist die generelle Bedeutung dieses Begriffes gelaeufig. Er stammt wohl aus der Zeit des Mauerfalles, als Menschen in den Westen Deutschlands kamen indem sie durch die damals westdeutsche Botschaft in Prag nach Westdeutschland ausgewandert sind.
Aber wie uebersetze ich diesen Begriff im obigen Zusammenhang??

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.
