Send us a textEpisode 13: We were taught in most healthcare training programs about patient intake forms and asking patients whether or not they smoke at a new patient visit or examination. The question is: what do we actually do with the information we are given? Nothing!? This episode makes this conversation easy, and gives you the tools you need to take 2 minutes to provide encouragement, tangible goals, and ultimately show them that someone else cares about them cutting back or quitting smoking all together. It's simple. Why not do it every time?Check us out on Instagram! (@betterdoctorproject)Podcast show notes available on our website: https://betterdoctorproject.com/episode-13/.
