[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should read the public information coming out from the UK, Australia and NZ. They use words like poo, tummy and bottom. https://service-manual.nhs.uk/content/a-to-z-of-nhs-health-writing Although the doctor above talks about many patients having a 5th grade reading level, for the rest of us, this kind of infantile language is jarring. [/quote] How is pee and poop jarring in a online article that your average person is looking up for the causes of a condition? [/quote] Because I read articles about my condition in medical journal that even my PCP doesn't get around to reading, so I don't enjoy being spoken to as if I am 10 or 11 years old. [/quote] So you're upset that the Cleveland Clinic, in their information to the general public, has not tailored the language to you personally?[/quote]
