Ep. 19: Why Language in Healthcare Matters


Listen Later

When you are in a healthcare system - language is powerful. HeHe and Mandy dive into the importance of language: things that are said to patients, what is said around patients in the room, not correctly addressing someone by their choice of pronouns, etc.

Join us as we discuss this timely topic and how it pertains to the health and safety of patients and workers within the health care system. It's tough to vent our feelings and process an event but also balance a presence and therapeutic relationship with our patients. 

In this episode, we discuss some tips and tricks for using language and transparency to center the patient and deflect a pushy colleague.
