I’m 44, had breastfeeding pain for a few months and then found a large lump on the underside of my arm near arm pit.
Gp arranged a quick appointment (was three weeks when usually a two week wait)....
Any way after mammogram and ultrasound they said it was cysts and calcification, so all good.
Got letter today outlining results and it said:
“Saw the this delightful lady in clinic today”......etc etc
I find this language unprofessional and it pissed me off that it was shitty code like a child’s school report.
I have to write reports for EHCPs and use appropriate professional language do it set me on edge.
Am I being precious?

Seriously??

You have just had some good news, why do you care about how they worded the letter?

Seriously??

You have just had some good news, why do you care about how they worded the letter?

because when you are vulnerable you can be more sensitive to things?

exactly why the judgy descriptions should stop.
