This episode is a discussion on the evolving language in medicine and the heavy lifting that is required by consumers of medical care just to understand what everyone is talking about! We’ve noticed a difference in language spoken between colleagues vs spoken to patients and differences in the outpatient setting, in-patient setting, and even social media.
HeHe and Mandy sit down with Dr. Chrissy Sheeler, family practice physician in Canada, to share an interesting conversation we had in IG DMs that we wanted to continue - so we hit record! You get to listen in on this conversation, and Dr. Sheeler drops some awesome changes in language that you can start making to be more trauma-aware in your care, too.
Here are some great TIC resources below. They are geared towards physicians, but are applicable to everyone. The link to The National Council Curbside Consult has a fantastic chart that Dr. Sheeler actually printed out and has in her office that details TIC actions.
