It would be ok for a comedian to write a humorous essay about the behavior of patients. The audience he is writing for does not expect a technical piece, but something light, funny, and relatable. However, a doctor who wishes to be informed about an operation does not expect jokes and puns about. He wants facts to be described with precision, in a serious and technical manner. It could be via letter, e-mail, or even with the help of a chart. Those means can be adapted to be lighter or more serious. What matters is the tone and manner with which the operation is discussed.
