In this episode, I tackle the simple but revolutionary idea that if we can't control our health (and we can't), then we shouldn't be blamed for it! When healthcare professionals blame patients, patients stop trusting us and start avoiding care. That's dangerous! This week I offer some straight-talking advice for both doctors (ask better questions!) and patients (call out the blame when you feel it!). Let's take the shame out of healthcare and remember that illness isn't a personal failure and when all else fails, chose compassion over judgment, folks. Every time.
