We sit down with Michael J. Grace, attorney and author of The Mumbo Jumbo Fix: A Survival Guide for Effective Doctor-Patient-Nurse Communication. We explore how health care communication has evolved before, during, and after COVID. From the rapid rise of telemedicine to the increasing role of nurse practitioners and physician assistants, we discuss the challenges these shifts bring for both providers and patients. Michael shares insights on reducing medical errors, empowering patients to be better communicators, and how to improve doctor-patient-nurse interactions in today's complex health care landscape.
