Original Medical Notes Versus AI Plain-Language Summaries

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how patients feel when reading their medical notes. The study compares reading the original doctor's note with reading a simpler, Artificial Intelligence (AI)-generated version written in plain language in adults receiving musculoskeletal specialty care.

The main questions the study aims to answer are:

1. Does reading a plain-language summary change how patients feel about their doctor or their clinic experience? 2. Does the type of note affect how comfortable, reassured, or worried patients feel?

Researchers will compare patients who read their original clinic note with patients who read an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-generated plain-language summary to see whether simpler language changes patient understanding, trust, or emotional responses.

Participants will:

* Read either their original clinic note or a plain-language summary of the note * Complete short questionnaires about their experience, emotions, and trust in their clinician * Optionally provide written comments about how it felt to read the information
