Euphemistic Units in Medical Communication
Abstract
Euphemisms are linguistic tools employed to soften the impact of unpleasant or sensitive topics. In the medical field, they serve not only as a means of communication but also as a way to navigate the emotional landscape surrounding patient care. This article explores the significance of medical euphemisms, their implications for patient understanding, and the potential consequences of their use in clinical settings.
