Translate a GP Letter or Medical Report Into Plain English
A letter arrives from your GP or a specialist and half of it is in a language only doctors speak. This finds the main message first, what is being said or asked, then translates each term and abbreviation and explains what any results mean. Useful when you are anxious about a letter and just need to know what it is actually telling you.
