Episode 348 - Medical Toleration
About this episode
This episode discusses treatments for individuals with histories of avoiding medical care and reviews articles on teaching medical toleration.
Some of us struggle going to the doctor. Some of us shrink in terror at the sight of nail clippers.

This week we head to the doctor's office with a review of a broad spectrum of articles discussing teaching medical toleration. Let's just say Amazon isn't the only group putting together big packages we're excited to see. This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
