Hmm. Good point. I always assume the " layman" would have very little medical literacy, but even then I think you could figure out the meaning of their response without needing to know every term and where they are anatomically located, though knowing where the duodenum is located would help understand that acid is neutralized before entering the intestines.

This is a great answer, though might not land quite right with a 5 year old. Everyone forgets the dang duodenum 😅

Metformin is a really low cost drug right now, so the insurance companies will have "step therapy" meaning you need to fail with the "frontline therapy" to qualify for possible coverage of more expensive alternates.

Then I am callin the dang bank about overdraft fees 😂
