2024 National Paediatric Bioethics Conference: When words fail
Talking about stressful situations can give rise to euphemisms. Coded language can help smooth harsh realities or create a bond when it’s shared by a team. But in healthcare, when it stigmatises the patient, does it have the potential to undermine their quality of care? And if the patient overhears their clinicians referring to them in this way, how are they affected? Clinical Nurse Consultant Tania Ramos encounters a critical moment in her patient care experience.
Presenter: Tania Ramos, Clinical Nurse Consultant, The Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne. Host: Prof John Massie, Children's Bioethics Centre, RCH Melbourne.
