How Physicians Change Their Behavior to Become Better Doctors Physicians are used to making decisions and leading with authority. Sometimes, however, they lose sight of manners and leadership skills, and rub people the wrong way. Might this describe you, or a physician you work with?
In this hot topics episode, attorney Amanda Hill pulls from her experience shadowing physicians to share common reasons for patient and staff complaints against doctors, and tactics to help physicians amend their behavior.
