Half of my patients do not remember what I told them.

Not because I explained it badly. Because 20 minutes earlier I told them they have cancer, and the brain stops encoding after that sentence.

Three things I do instead of trying to say it better:

Leadership lessons from farmers 🚜

Stop shouting at and mistreating the crops. Its pointless!

Instead nurture, fertilise and irrigate them.

Throwing 💩 on them just won’t work!
