The patients can also see the posters, and it won't be background noise for them, so they can think of asking about it.

Oh. There is nothing more contra productive than asking an experienced physician “could this not be X”. They will typically go in “if you think google knows better, ask it and fuck off”. Ask me how I know. I think that attitude even has a name (BTW, I’m guilty! If I say “there is a dangling pointer” and the guy starts with another theory, I will dismiss him quickly)

My experience is completely the opposite. It often annoys them, but they are forced to address my question, and that's my goal.

They especially love "According to ChatGPT..." these days. Make sure not to even make it a question

I'm not a doctor, but I am an engineer --- so I am _SUPER_ used to being wrong -- my systems don't spontaneously heal themselves.

I usually preface such suggestions with "according to my google medical degree..." which seems to take the heat off.

If in the UK, you better have some tact, otherwise it'll go down like a lead balloon !

Personally I'd make up a lie: "Oh! What a great idea those posters are...I lost my dear brother to sepsis...they told us it's so easy to miss..."
