I would encourage you to CAREFULLY and WITH DETAIL listen to your senior tutors (senior grisled paramedics, charge nurses, etc). They have a very particular line to walk and you can blow the show if you don’t learn the language.
It’s performative…everyone in the equation wants the patient to get the best, but if you haul off and make it obvious, they may be screwed.
Not saying you’d do that, but it’s a new world of…bullshit nuance.
Edit and if they ever give you a knowing look, and ask you to check the blinker fluid, or if the vending machine is stocked with saline, nod, and go “check”. They want to talk to the patient with no witnesses, so they can coach them on how to fit a proper insurance code.
