English Practice For Healthcare - Episode 07 English Practice For Healthcare

Disclaimer: please note this episode contains quite graphic descriptions of medical procedures involving bones.
This is part two of the interview with Kevin, which covers the theme of broken bones. In this episode you can learn more about how external fixators work in orthopaedic surgery and about some of the adaptations people have to make to daily life with these on. Including to the clothes they wear! There is another example of an idiom and more opportunities to hear some descriptive language about pain. Kevin’s re-telling of his experience also gives us an opportunity to reflect on if it is appropriate for healthcare professionals to cry in front of patients. What do you think? Please feel free to email me with your opinion.
