What if we just believed that people were telling the truth about their pain or discomfort? This week is a deep dive into assumptions, biases, and cultural habits that increase suffering for all humans.**********Healwell's virtual conference, Just Care: Social Justice in Health Care, is October 9-10. 8 CEs for most health care professions.
