So You Have...

I have a theory that I could improve the quality of the ER's discharge instructions. Typically the format includes a bold diagnosis at the very top so you can't leave and say we never told you what was wrong (people claim this happens all the time-and weirdly-they don't think to ask before leaving). So here's my idea-before each diagnosis is the precursor, "So you have..."

It'd look something like this:
So you have Pelvic Pain
So you have Gall Stones
But then it gets better
So you have Anxiety
So you have Mental Health Disorder
But then it gets better
So you have Chlamydia
So you have Herpes (or "The Herp" to make it sound less scary)
But then, then it gets even better
So you have Foreign Body Removal

See-sounds way better, huh?
