Communication After Catastrophe
with Dr. Anthony Orsini
Communication with patients or families after unexpected medical events is crucial, but most of us have no formal training in how to do it well. Compassionate and skilled conversations can pave the way for understanding and closure for families. However, when handled poorly or defensively, these conversations can create resentment, distrust, and anger, which can also make litigation more likely. Our first conversation in Season 3 is with Dr. Anthony Orsini of The Orsini Way.
