Episode 16 - How stigma hurts patients and what we can do about it

How much do you know about stigma? Would you believe experiencing stigma can shorten a person's lifespan by 12 years? In this episode we review stigma - what it is, how it affects patients with stigmatizing conditions, and how to reduce how much stigma there is in health care. Dr. Grover just did a Grand Rounds presentation on Stigma - and this episode is a rapid review of all the material covered in the Grand Rounds presentation.
