Medical education in the outpatient department.
Many disease processes are described by doctors in terms which make no sense to the layman. Here, I describe the methods I use to educate patients about the nature, management, treatment and outcome of their disease processes using teaching methods that were first applied in the undergraduate medical school. In my approach I have been influenced by the old Chinese proverb "the palest ink is stronger than the most powerful memory".
