Workshop: Interpreting Profanity

October 6, 2014 By Carol Velandia

As if it was not hard enough to interpret “medicalese”, sometimes we are faced with emotionally charged situations at the doctor’s office, where patients or family members blurt out insults, euphemisms and the like! How do we interpret that? Alvaro Vergara offers a workshop just to handle these kinds of situations. Attend this upcoming workshop and earn CEUs. More instructions in our calendar.
