Some clients reveal that superpower in you that you never knew existed.
This is what happened when my client said, ‘You’ve Got This!’ https://t.co/GOAj1HhgYv

It's ok if you make mistakes,
Even if it's in health writing.
This is what my mistakes taught me

Why is it good to be bored? https://t.co/GhjlPlhKeZ

Falling sick and staying in bed has become a luxury most of us can’t afford.

When you are the backbone of your family or your workplace, you simply don’t have the option to lie around waiting to recover naturally.

Act early and take the right medication.

The secret to content that clicks?

Spot the need gap & fill it.

Before my ECHS interview, I couldn’t find real questions anywhere. So after the interview, I listed every question asked and made a simple video.

Not perfect. Not fancy. Just helpful.
And it worked. 🚀

The lessons I learned in my 1st slide deck project:
💡 Before committing, do a quick research & mentally map out a rough outline.
💡 Always ask for an extra half day to handle all probable “what-ifs.”
💡 Request sample decks to understand client's expectations.

I meet students —
Some nervous,
Some brilliant in theory but lacking in clinical finesse,
Some naturals at putting patients at ease.

But they blossom into a capable dentist when they pair skill with humility.

Humility is the foundation on which great clinicians are built.

[Dr Febin Mary George @febysaby]

Senior dental surgeon: “Are you willing to learn? Or are you Miss Know-It-All?”

I set aside my newbie-dentist ego and said, “I am willing to learn, Sir.”

💡 Any skill can be developed with hard work, but it only sustains with humility.

My secret to making content understandable?

Relying on human feedback:
The puzzled look,
The curious question,
The “aha!” moment.
That’s how I refine my drafts.

The best feedback tool I have for my writing?

Not software.
Not AI.
It’s my 10-year-old son.
If he understands my medical article, I know I’ve nailed it.
#HealthWriters, how do you test for clarity?

[Dr Febin Mary George @febysaby]

My client: “How do you ensure your medical content is simple for non-medical readers?”
Me: “I test it on my 10-year-old. If he gets it, others will too.”
She smiled. Next day, I was hired.
#HealthWriters, how do you simplify complex medical content?

Misinformation can hurt as much as misdiagnosis.
In my latest piece, I share Jess’s painful journey and the lesson it holds for every #healthwriter: accuracy and empathy are non-negotiable. https://t.co/Me9mi3YPQs

[Dr Febin Mary George @febysaby]

Some clients 🙄
You break your back working for them.
Your content is live, shining on their website.
But your payment? Still “pending.”
And when you follow up…
“Oops, I was busy.”
Deadlines for #freelancewriters? Strict
Deadlines for payments? Ah..Don’t exist. Why?
