Explain [procedure — e.g. Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) / Genicular Artery Embolization for knee pain / Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) / DVT thrombectomy / hyperbaric oxygen therapy for wounds] to a patient who has never heard of it before.

Requirements:
• Plain language — no unexplained medical jargon
• What happens before, during, and after
• How long the procedure takes
• Recovery timeline and what “same-day discharge” actually means for them
• How it compares to open surgery (briefly)
• Who is a good candidate
• What symptoms it treats

Tone: warm, reassuring, informative. The patient is nervous. Help them feel like they understand their options.
