@PhysicianDoodle I've got my "here's the purpose of the ER" speech memorized at this point. But I think a PSA would only work if everyone cared about others...I'm sick of the "what's that got to do with me" response to "I'm sorry you had to wait, someone was actively dying."

A patient once told me they didn’t have a fib or atrial fibrillation , I asked why were they on metoprolol & xarelto and they said for their irregular heart beats. This is important
@MKIttlesonMD I would say that a patient would appreciate a doctor using both the medical term followed by the definition or common knowledge term. Patients want to be educated by their practitioners.
