Shownotes Transcript

How do you tell patients something they don’t want to hear without making them dread coming back? In this episode, we’ll explore proven strategies for delivering difficult news while maintaining trust, clarity, and hope. Whether it’s a major treatment plan or a surprising diagnosis, learn how to handle these conversations with confidence and care.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to set the stage for trust before tough conversations.
  • Why it’s essential to walk patients through the process rather than rush into the diagnosis.
  • How engaging patients in their own narrative can make them feel more informed and less fearful.

Leave your patients with not just the facts but also a path forward that builds their confidence in you as their trusted provider.
