Summarise a Hospital Discharge Letter
A relative comes home from hospital and you're handed a discharge letter you're expected to act on, full of terms and instructions. This summarises it plainly: the diagnosis in normal words, what treatment they had, what the medicines are for and what you must do next. You help them recover correctly instead of guessing which instruction was the important one.
