You have to be understood by everyone. A lot of people will just nod their head and say yes rather than admit they don’t know that word you just said, hence MGH neurosurgery MD/PhDs asking everyone at 6 in the morning if they’ve pooped or peed yet.

Doctor can’t communicate!

Also, my personal favorite is when the newbies write in the patient’s chart that the patient’s wound is “very pussy”. It never gets old watching them panic when we remind them to say “pus” and write “purulent”.
