Episode notes

Frida Ghitis: I think that going back to work next week, I'll look at things a little differently with the way I approach physicians. How do we make sure in a teeming context that when one person says something, everyone hears it? Well, word of mouth is okay, but we are really advanced species now. So transparency and that everyone gets to hear it seemed to me to be the two ways there. And then the second thing was just shouting to me throughout this whole conversation.

This is an episode of Fixable, another podcast from the TED Audio Collective hosted by Anne Morriss and Frances Frei.

Kelli is a nurse at a leading teaching hospital where communication issues are not only leading to resentment – they could also be affecting patient care. After hearing from Kelli about the larger problems at play in the healthcare space, Anne and Frances discuss the link between communication and transparency and guide Kelli into taking matters into her own hands.
