Clear, patient-friendly post-op instructions you can print and hand to patients — covering what to expect, diet, pain management, and when to call the office.

The Prompt

Copy and paste this
Write post-op instructions for a patient after [procedure name, e.g., "mandibular molar extraction"]. Include: what to expect first 24 hours, diet restrictions, pain management, care tips, and when to call the office. Write at an 8th grade reading level in a calm, reassuring tone.

Tips

Run this once for each of your 6–8 most common procedures and save the results — you'll have a printable library in about 20 minutes. Specify the reading level in the prompt; "8th grade" produces noticeably clearer language than leaving it open.
