When the hospital helicopter arrived with a patient, the emergency medical technician, George, gave the nurse, Cheikh, a detailed verbal report that lasted about an hour. He used complex medical terms to explain the patient’s condition and verified that Cheikh understood all the information before he left. How might George have improved this verbal report?

George already checked that Cheikh understood the report, so ignoring understanding would not improve it. The main problem is that the verbal report lasted about an hour; making it briefer and more concise would help communicate the essential information efficiently. Although everyday terms can help, the report should still use precise medical language when needed.
