Summary:  Pharmacists are instructed on how to talk with people about their medications:  communicate verbally, communicate non-verbally, establish trust, listen, ask questions, show empathy and encouragement, remain clinically objective….  But where are the instructions for the patient on how to talk about their medications with the pharmacist or the doctor?  That is what this podcast is about.
