'Explanations' Template for OSCE's or in life.

A friend of mine said:

real simple template:
egs are for endoscopy

1. WHAT it is and WHY we do it (camera test to look for ulcers/bleeding)
2. HOW we do it (spray at back of throat, thin camera tube in mouth)
3. SIDE effects and RISKS (sore throat and infection/perforation)
4. RESULTS: when and how you get them
5. PREPARATION and AFTER the procedure (eg starve 6hrs before endoscopy, have a lift home organised)

its quite basic, but covers most things!

In essence its, why what how, side effects, risks, complications, results, preparation, afterwards [immediate, short term, longterm]
