Off My Food, Shivery, Sweaty and Clammy | Medical English Podcast (S5E11) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of the Medical English Podcast, we translate three everyday patient expressions — off my food, shivery, and sweaty and clammy — into the correct clinical documentation, so nothing important gets lost between what a patient says and what you write. You'll learn how to: • Recognise "off my food" as reduced appetite, not necessarily nausea, and document it as "decreased oral intake" • Use "shivery" for cold trembling before a fever, while reserving "rigors" for severe, uncontrollabl

You'll learn how to: • Use "rundown" correctly as an adjective, not a verb ("I'm rundown," not "I'm running down") • Recognise "under the weather" as mild, short-term unwellness with no specific diagnosis • Reserve "wiped out" for intense, event-driven exhaustion rather than
