Chadi Nabhan and Healthcare Unfiltered
Carol Rausch—a healthcare professional, cancer researcher, and a former lymphoma patient—shares on Healthcare Unfiltered how her journey from a researcher to a patient transformed her understanding of the medical language used amongst healthcare professionals. Carol discusses the impact of word choice on patients, why certain battle and war metaphors can be harmful, and how language used in clinical settings differs from what resonates with those facing a diagnosis. Carol also explores the consequences of unfiltered language on social media and her efforts to promote more thoughtful, patient-centered communication both within and beyond the healthcare community.
