Play
 
The way a doctor conveys bad news can have a lasting impact on a patient, both physically and mentally. But all too often, physicians set the wrong tone delivering a diagnosis. This hour: how to train doctors in clinical empathy, and why an MD's sense of compassion matters to your health. We also look at a new safety app, and models for dealing with mental illness, including the Clubhouse model of community and work-based support.

Guests:

Lara McKenzie, researcher at the Center for Injury Research and Policy at the Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital
Dr. Holly Yang, palliative care physician at Scripps Health, Vital Talk instructor
Beverly Orazen, co-chair of BREAD's mental health committee
Lori D'Angelo, executive director of the Magnolia Clubhouse in Cleveland
