Les paroles du médecin sont très confuses.

Shouldn’t the translation of the above say “The doctor’s words are very unclear”? Not, simply, “unclear”?

Bonjour Richard,

Thank you for pointing this out! You are both correct. The English translation has now been amended accordingly.

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !

Yes, it should be "very unclear" to match très confuses.
