Why does the NHS want patients to poop, piss and get sick | Life and style

First name: Poop.

Also known as: Feces, stools, feces, garbage and several less polished alternatives.

Appearance: I think we all know what it looks like.

Oh, but it varies, not just the color but also in shape and size. The is a world of difference between "one" and "seven" on the Bristol stool ladder. I'm sure yes, but we try not to be too technical.

Why? Because the NHS discovered that "stool" and "feces" are already quite unknown words, while "everyone can understand the" poo ", including people who find it hard to read," says his website .

I find that it is very difficult to read a condescending speech about a baby. Bad luck. The NHS will now say "poo".

It does not seem very, you know, doctor. Medical? No, but it's a good thing. We can not put people's health at risk simply because they do not know what a "saddle movement" is. Better to say "poo".

What is the problem with "taka discharge "? Or "put a cable"? These are perhaps a little too figurative. The important thing is to be clear. Some doctors still use the words "stool" or "intestine". The NHS includes them, but always adds a clear alternative.

You mean that translates everything else into poop? That's true. For example: "Intestinal incontinence can affect people in different ways. You may have a problem if you suddenly want to poop that you can not control. "

If that happens, I think you know you have a problem. I suppose. And he does the same thing with "pee" and "pee", that he uses instead of "urinating".

Nothing is sacred? Well, it's better to be too obvious than too vague. "Feeling sick" and "being sick" will replace "nausea" and "vomiting".

What about Americans? When they say "sick," does not that mean "sick" in general? And do not we say "poo" instead of "poo"? Does the NHS not care about their health? This is the NHS, so everything is based on evidence.

How? These modifications have been tested and allow to multiply by 10 the number of positive comments compared to the negative comments.

Oh, people are always nice to the NHS. Perhaps, but these simpler words also come from survey responses and terms that people actually use when they search on Google or the NHS website. For example, Sara Wilcox writes, "We know that people who use NHS digital services speak and search for" pissing more often "and" pissing at night ".

Who is Sarah Wilcox? She is a content designer of the NHS.

You mean that she is a editor? Good point.

say: "Have you made a ploppy today?"

Do not tell: "Doctor, I'm 54 years old".
