Always excited to think with and hear from @GretchenSchwa10: how can we have better conversations about surgery? what frameworks can help us get to the conversations that really matter? If surgery is the solution, what is it the solution to?

(We love this piece & think its exemplifies why @the_labcollab works: applying ling anth to medical communication questions to make sense of real-life data. Thanks @ardenmorris1 for bringing this question to us; we're so happy to have you as part of our team!)

How does a phrase like "we got it all" lead to miscommunication? In a viewpoint in @JAMAOnc, @surganthro @ardenmorris1 and Justin Clapp explore the unintended adverse effects of this simple phrase. https://t.co/VfdwzVl750 (a 🧵)

If a patient thinks all cancer has been removed, they may not believe chemotherapy is necessary, leading to suboptimal cancer care. Phrases like "we got it all" should be used with caution and we need to recognize and better understand the impact of simple phrases.
