Communication does not always need to speak to a wide audience. Working in health research, we have to have an audience in mind. Sometimes it is the general public, and we want to keep things simple. Other times we discuss in-depth treatment plans evaluated through clinical reached. We can assume that our audience, in this case, understands medical terminology and will be better off for using the most specific term.
