Description

Today's episode kicks off a series that will help you become an discerning patient.  How much do you know about the health professionals taking care of you?  Do you really understand the training of different hospital staff?  On today's episode, I teach you how to read a hospital badge. I explain the difference between MD and DO, tell you if an APRN is the same thing as a nurse practitioner, and describe what an MA does. I'll also share which health care professionals you probably need but don't know about. Listen to find out!
