In this episode of the Medical English Podcast, we explore clear and patient-friendly language for managing and explaining nasal fractures (broken nose). Perfect for healthcare professionals who learned English as a second language, we break down key vocabulary and natural expressions used in emergency and ENT consultations:
• Nasal fracture – The precise medical term for a broken nose • Deviation & realignment (reduction) – How to describe a crooked nose and the straightening procedure • Swelling, bruising & black eyes – Reassuring explanations for common symptoms
We cover pronunciation, patient-friendly explanations, ideal timing for reduction, home care advice, and how to manage patient concerns about breathing and appearance.
You’ll learn how to combine clinical accuracy with calm, reassuring language — essential for emergency departments, GP clinics, and ENT settings.
