Clinical PT TalksAuthor: Dr. Mark White, PT, DPT, BA, OCS
Clinical PT Talks offers physical therapy tips, pointers, how-to, and stories about unique, important, or transformative clinical cases. Clinical PT Talks is a mix of Podcast Shorts that provide brief, user-friendly and easily digestible bits of useful information that clarify concepts, illustrate problems to be solved, and offers solutions to issues physical therapists, and physical therapy assistants, deal with every day. Here you will also find longer Stories that highlight a variety of critical processes in dealing with patients in distress in the real world. Some stories need to be told because they can shift our perspective in ways that are useful. Often, this is of equal or greater value than what can be obtained in any other way.

What to do when your patient is lying to you? A perspective.
Monday, 18 November, 2024
Not everyone lies, but patients lie more than we might expect. And we’re not good at detecting it. So, what is one to do, as a healthcare provider, when faced with this reality? Afterall, lies and failure to disclose vital health information can dramatically and disastrously impact our ability to provide quality care. Join me in this podcast as I discuss these issues and provide a perspective on what’s known from the published scientific literature blended with the pragmatism of clinical practice. NOTE: Patient examples in this podcast episode are representative. They are drawn from composites of multiple clinical cases modified to protect identities and protected health information.
