    Emergency Department

    Send us a textIs the Emergency Department the most critical environment for listening? We say yes and discuss this question, and others, with an expert. Sandy, the Director of Outpatient Services, a Registered Nurse, and a 37-year career ED professional, explains why. The answers may be surprising to some (including this co-host), but the skill of listening in the ED goes beyond staff to staff clinical jargon, and goes right to the core necessity of human communication and emotion.

    Send us a textNot all listeners are created equal. In this episode we enter into the realm of electronics and how they listen to us. But wait... WHAT! They’re listening to me? Yes, of course they are. Isn’t that why you purchased it, brought it into your home, and plugged it in?
