Summary/Abstract: This pilot study conducts a linguistic analysis of 15 Polish hospital discharge summaries from the field of hematology / oncology, orthopedics and psychiatry / psychosomatics. The focus of the study is the linguistic style of the summaries, which results from the communicative asymmetries in the doctor-patient relationship, as well as the occurrence of metaphor concepts which serve to cope with everyday clinical life and to convey medical contexts.
