Greenlaw 524

About the Talk: If you were to visit the doctor, would you be considered a difficult patient? How do you know? What makes a patient “difficult”? In her presentation Yolonda Wilson will discuss the meaning of that label and how that label shapes interactions between patients and providers. She will argue that some patients are more susceptible to being labeled as difficult than others and consider possible alternative ways to frame encounters between patients and providers.
