Ep90: If One More Person Wishes Me A Merry Christmas, I’m Going to Scream!!!!
The Holiday Season is supposed to be filled with joy and love and hope; a time of togetherness with family and friends; a time for new beginnings and new resolutions.
But what if you not only feel no joy, but actually feel depressed, hopeless, and alone?
Maybe you’ve just been diagnosed, or perhaps you’re suffering the side effects of your treatments, or maybe you’ve been given bad news, or just maybe you’ve lost a loved one to cancer, and their absence at the holiday table is just too much to bear.
Fear not brave friends, Angel and Dr E are here you to deliver some comfort.

In this Rewind episode of The Croc Podcast, Dr. E and Angel revisit conversations about physicians criticizing colleagues in front of patients and the growing lack of empathy and follow-through when survivor thrivers are referred to outside specialists.
They share real cases, explain responsibilities for referring and specialist doctors, and offer five clear rules to improve care: always care, use redundant follow-up systems, choose trustworthy colleagues, advocate for yourself, and keep the primary care physician involved.

In this episode, Dr. Eanelli and co-host Angel Santana explore the damaging practice of physicians criticizing other physicians in front of patients. Using authentic clinic vignettes and research, they explain how such comments harm teamwork, increase patient confusion, distress, and even worsen outcomes.
The hosts review four common scenarios, discuss why clinicians sometimes engage in this behavior, and offer clear solutions for patients and providers — including how patients can advocate for themselves and how clinicians can communicate professionally, empathetically, and through direct collegial contact.
