Patients need help knowing what to ask. These questions are so helpful!
Four questions to ask your physician when discussing treatment options:
-What are the chances it will help me?
-What are the chances it will harm me?
-What are the alternatives?
-What if I do nothing?
Questioning your doctor is okay, says @DrJohnM drjohnm.org/2018/11/question…

Using #plainlanguage means “building a bridge between old and new terms” for our users so that it’s “as easy as possible for them to find the answers they need.” @plain_language ht.ly/wWVD30ki1xI

You don’t leave science just by leaving academia. Science does not lie within a job title or employer. Science is a way of thinking, not an in-group you can be excluded from.

"Clinical trial descriptions are re-written using evidence based practices in health literacy." ... Which leads to much shorter, simpler descriptions! 👏👏jcctp.org #ONSCongress – at Washington, DC
