What Do You Do If You Don’t Like Your PatientAs Oncology health professionals we not only revere and respect our Survivor/Thrivers but we also develop an interconnectedness; and may I dare say feelings of love. But just as we may love our family members, there are times we may not like them or at least not like their behaviors.It comes as no shock then that we must recognize and prepare for patients whose belligerence, illogic and anger may test our inner strength and risk developing a non therapeutic and potentially bilaterally harmful relationship.This week Angel and Dr E discuss how to deal with inevitable dynamic.

The funny thing is, she was told that 3 years ago.
