In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Colin Halverson delves into his recently published paper entitled: Clinician-associated traumatization from difficult medical encounters: Results from a qualitative interview study on the Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes. Join us as we discuss the cumulative impact of negative interpersonal dynamics on clinicians and the importance of becoming trauma-informed for better patient outcomes. Discover what happens when we fail to "do no harm" and the challenges patients face in navigating a healthcare system with a shortage of specialists.
