Summary:  Preconceived notions within healthcare professionals about what another person might be, before we have a direct, open and genuine interaction with them, can derail the best treatment for that person.  To provide the best treatment, efforts to effectively communicate continue by healthcare; but the person – the patient – must also make efforts to express themselves openly and honestly regarding their healthcare.  Shared decision making:  this episode is about getting in there, establishing an understanding of your options, and working WITH your healthcare team, including your pharmacist!
