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.

On our last podcast of 2024, we told the story of Mary, a living, breathing testament that medical miracles do happen.The response we received was so positive and impactful that we decided that moving forward, the CROC Podcast would forever end the old year with a story of hope and start the new year likewise.On today’s podcast, we will tell the story of “Dee,” another brave Survivor/Thriver who was told she would be dead in 4 months. The funny thing is, she was told that 3 years ago.

I want you to forget everything about your cancer.

I want you to start with a blank slate.

CROC is a not so much a thing but rather a movement for survivors to gather, to learn, to be nourished and to connect and for a brief moment, forget about the future and focus on the now!

In 1999, I tried an experiment based on my observation of the interactions between my patients. I took a leap a faith and started something whose power to soothe, whose potential to cure, and whose capacity to find light in darkness, joy in sorrow, laughter in fear was completely unexpected.

Together we turned tragedy into triumph.

And now I’d like to share with you the stories that have inspired me over the past two decades.

Welcome to the CROC Podcast… A Podcast for Cancer Survivors by Cancer Survivors.

I look forward to our Journey….

Citizens Reunited to Overcome Cancer
