What did the doctor say?"
The words are so natural as to be virtually automatic. They spring from our lips, almost of their own accord, whenever a loved one returns from a doctor's visit. Whether we recognize it or not, the answer has the potential to make us face our own mortality.
But why should the answer to this question be difficult? The usual suspects — inadequate patient education, differences in cultural perceptions, problems of health literacy — all overlook an important fact: Medicine is a foreign language. It is not foreign because of "big words" — its multisyllabic arcana can always be translated into simpler terms. Rather, the hedging, equivocation and other linguistic devices that doctors reflexively use obscures the plain meaning of their words.
