Medical Writing Style Guide
Repetitive machine-drafted prose is easy to spot: uniform sentence length, identical paragraph openers and recycled connective phrases. Strong medical writing varies rhythm without touching a single fact.
Phrases worth removing
'Furthermore', 'Moreover', 'In conclusion', 'It is crucial to note', 'Delve into', 'Testament to' — connective filler that adds no information and flattens the author's voice.
What must never change
Figures, statistics, p-values and confidence intervals, units, dates, substance names, technical terminology, citation markers and named organisations. Structure and rhythm may change; substance may not.
Recommended workflow
Draft in your record system, refine the text here, review the before/after structural difference, confirm the integrity check, then copy the reviewed output back into the chart.
