Was Teaching, now Sloppy Language

[Guest guest]

" Sloppy " in that these meds are not " patented " as John pointed out and

that they should not be seen as the equivalent of 19th century

snake-oil. However, I was actually referring to our profession's

general use of sloppy language and it's refusal to adopt a more

etymologically accurate professional terminology. As a teacher, I find

the degree of my students' understanding of the technical fine points

of clinical practice is well reflected by the words they choose to

express themselves. Sloppy words = sloppy thinking = sloppy CM

practice. I see this weekend after weekend, city to city, and country

to country.
