Recently our publication relations expert asked if I would talk with a reporter about doctor patient communication. He told me that a reporter at the small city paper in Anniston, Alabama was doing a story about a patient who had a recent diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. I agreed and spent about 30 minutes on the phone with a reporter.
Talking with reporters causes some anxiety. You hope they will quote you accurately. Sometimes reporters hit a home run. I have a very small part of this article and I applaud the reporters for writing an important and moving story.
The other side: Medicine has many stories … this is Kenny Callahan’s
All I can say to Laura Tutor is – well done.
