Organizing thoughts into written words is difficult. Achieving clarity for the reader is even more difficult. The Internet, or any electronic reading, presents opportunites to make writing and reading more productive. Instead we have made the experience worse with flashing ads and distractions. KISS- Keep it Simple Stupid.

Example

Sepsis

(what is sepsis)

(1) Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that arises when the body's response to infection causes injury to its own tissues and organs. (2) This initial stage is followed by suppression of the immune system.

(signs and symptoms)

(1) Common signs and symptoms include fever, increased heart rate, increased breathing rate, and confusion. (2) There may also be symptoms related to a specific infection, such as a cough with pneumonia, or painful urination with a kidney infection.

(cause)

(1) Sepsis is caused by many organisms including bacteria, viruses and fungi. (2) Common locations for the primary infection include the lungs, brain, urinary tract, skin, and abdominal organs. (3) Risk factors include being very young or old, a weakened immune system from conditions such as cancer or diabetes, major trauma, and burns.

(diagnosis)

(1) Criteria for diagnosing sepsis, using qSOFA, include at least two of the following three: increased breathing rate, change in the level of consciousness, and low blood pressure. (2) Sepsis guidelines recommend obtaining blood cultures before starting antibiotics; however, the diagnosis does not require the blood to be infected. (3) Medical imaging is helpful when looking for the possible location of the infection.

(treatment)

(1) Sepsis requires immediate treatment with intravenous fluids and antimicrobials. (2) Ongoing care often continues in an intensive care unit. (3) If an adequate trial of fluid replacement is not enough to maintain blood pressure, then the use of medications that raise blood pressure becomes necessary.

(summary)

(1) Sepsis causes millions of deaths globally each year and is the most common cause of death in people who have been hospitalized. (2) Sepsis will prove fatal in approximately 24.4% of people. (3) Some people may experience severe long-term cognitive decline following an episode of severe sepsis.
