Ep 514 – LAD Stent: “I Have a Client Who . . .” Pathology Conversations with Ruth Werner


Listen Later

A client has a recently placed stent in their left anterior descending branch of the coronary artery. The therapist isn’t clear about safety. What to do—get permission to work? Or get information to work safely? (You get two guesses, and one of them doesn’t count.)

This episode explores a helpful communication to establish client safety—and an example to us all!
