Breaking Bad News to Patients in the Medical Setting | OSCE Talk

In this episode we focus on breaking bad news to patients.This often comes in the form of breaking diagnosis to patients such as cancer, MS, epilepsy, or even explaining a mistake made by the medical team to patients. We follow the SPIKES structure and the importance of the warning shot in preparing patients for difficult news.This episode is all about empathy, honesty, being able to communicate in a simple way with no medical jargon, and guiding patients to the next steps when discussing life changing news.🎧 Listen & Follow:🎙️ Spotify → ⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/01yz38z....🍎 Apple Podcasts → ⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast....▶️ YouTube → / @oscetalkpod 📸 Instagram → / oscetalk_ 🎵 TikTok → / oscetalk_
