Handle The Situation: Angry Family Members, Disagreements with Doctors, and Med Errors

How do you handle tough conversations at work? In this episode, our hosts Maddi and Kristen are answering your questions about how to handle tough situations with doctors, other co-workers, patients, and their family members.

When doing patient care there can be a number of difficult situations to navigate on top of what you may find in a typical 9-5 at the office.
