Summary
This study from Gotlieb et al. looked at how well adults understand common phrases clinicians use when communicating with patients. The study surveyed 215 adults in the USA and found that participants frequently misunderstood and often assigned meaning opposite to what the clinician intended. These findings suggest that use of common medical phrases may lead to confusion among patients affecting health outcomes.
