How to communicate pain, Morana Radman

This lecture presents how patients perceive their injuries, disabilities, pain, and make sense of what is happening to them. It is important that this is explained within a biopsychosocial model. It discusses how the choice of the words clinicians use is important in the delivery of healthcare, where a misunderstood word can undermine treatment and create unnecessary stress. By understanding and using the principles of good communication the message we intend is the message patients receive.
