Navigating the Uncertainties of Medicine
How to Embrace the Unknown in Your Survivorship Journey
“I don’t know” is an answer you never want to hear come out of the mouth of your oncologist. Or is it?
In this first part of a three-part podcast module, Angel and Dr. E explore the reality of uncertainty in medicine, define it, and begin embracing it and making it part of our Survivor/Thriver journey.

Have Faith Let It Begin
What Do You Do If You Don’t Like Your Patient
As Oncology health professionals we not only revere and respect our Survivor/Thrivers but we also develop an interconnectedness; and may I dare say feelings of love. But just as we may love our family members, there are times we may not like them or at least not like their behaviors.
It comes as no shock then that we must recognize and prepare for patients whose belligerence, illogic and anger may test our inner strength and risk developing a non therapeutic and potentially bilaterally harmful relationship.
This week Angel and Dr E discuss how to deal with inevitable dynamic.
