Taking time to explain things on people's level is one my specialties. I've explained circulation in terms of plumbing and heart problems in car terminology... but when dude with a blood sugar of 500 on his 5th hospital visit this year tells me in between bites of pancake that he knows more than me because he's been a diabetic for 28 years and he reads Google, then the problem no longer lies at my feet.
I work with some brilliant cardiology people on a regular basis, and I often hang out a few minutes after they leave whenever we see patients together to make sure that they understand all the complicated shit that just fell out of the NP/physicians mouth because most people have a hard time saying that they don't understand what a provider is saying.
