A 65-year-old woman died during what should have been a routine heart catheterization, leading to pressing questions about the practices and credentials of the physicians involved. What happened after her time of death is concerning.

What do you mean? It's perhaps the most apt analogy I can think of. In the strictest literal sense, physiological care is a flesh mechanic servicing your flesh parts. The main difference here is a matter of scope, but that is the point of analogies; to reframe a thought in a smaller and comprehensible way.

Only way we could stay 1:1 is if the discussion is solely populated with qualified medical professionals and not a mix of differently educated laypeople.

Laypeople is the time-honored term unless you're specifically referring to men. Although in certain religious contexts, "the laity" is preferred.

Laypeople is a very new term. Layman is the time honored term, because people think -man means male. Werelay and wyflay would be gendered terms specifically referring to men or women, layman is ungendered.

In recent times we've changed the meaning of the suffix -man to be synonymous with the prefix were-.

It's a shame, because it implies we were something we weren't (re: sexism in that part of language) - but I am not defending the stance of not changing it. Just be aware: it's new.

In the UCC it's been around since the 1960s. So have I, and I'm old.

I absolutely agree, thank you for the spot check. Old dog got stuck in muscle memory before coffee. Editing.
