Explain a condition, a scan result, or why movement helps, in language that reduces fear instead of adding to it — the reframe, the honest uncertainty, and the analogy that does not accidentally frighten. Use when asked to explain a diagnosis to a patient, explain scan findings, reassure someone who is afraid to move, or write patient-facing education material. Produces the explanation in plain language, the reframe of frightening terminology, the honest uncertainty statement, the what-you-can-do section, and a teach-back check. A communication framework for a licensed clinician; the clinical content is theirs.

# Patient Education Explainer

'Degeneration', 'wear and tear', 'bulging disc', 'bone on bone' — a patient hears structural doom and stops moving, and the stopping does more harm than the finding. This writes the explanation that lands differently: what the words actually mean, what the finding does and does not predict, what is genuinely uncertain, and what they can do — without overclaiming reassurance the evidence does not support.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The plain-language explanation** — what the condition or finding actually is, without jargon or euphemism
- **The reframe** — what frightening terminology means in context, and how common the finding is in people without symptoms
- **Honest uncertainty** — what is not known, stated plainly, because false certainty collapses the moment it is contradicted
- **What you can do** — the agency section, which is what changes behaviour
- **What would change things** — the specific signs that warrant review, so vigilance has a boundary
- **A teach-back check** — the questions that reveal whether the reframe actually landed
