Wouldn't it be better if terms like 'professionals taking a close look and feel and ordering further tests/delivering an opinion based on extensive training and experience' be more helpful for the majority of the general public???
Why are we so surrounded by jargon these days????
Is there any wonder the 'man in the street' is frightened and confused???

Sorry, brenda!
