This succinct style of reporting reminds me of how surgeons are taught to report on a patient (to colleagues):

  1. name/age/gender
  2. current problem (+ potentially relevant preexisting condition)
  3. relevant clinical/laboratory findings
  4. suspected cause
  5. recommended actions
  6. If an operation is planned: general health assessment (ASA)/allergies
  7. prognosis/miscellaneous notes

As a rule of thumb, non-surgical medical professionals have a similar framework, but will report more in-depth and less focused on a singular logical path.

Reading all the replies tells me communication is not taught well.

We're taught to read, write, and speak yet are not taught to be understood.
