Read the result before using it. Adjust any wording that changes the clinical meaning, sounds too certain, or introduces an option that wasn’t discussed.
Advanced instructions
Add the patient’s main concern, preferred level of detail, and any uncertainty that needs careful wording. After reviewing the draft, tailor the opening and closing to the actual chairside conversation while keeping the clinical content unchanged.
