From time to time, medical professionals may need to have difficult conversations with patients. When they do, they need to choose their words carefully so they don't make an already painful situation worse. Sometimes, that means biting their tongue about certain matters.
Of course, many of them couldn’t keep these words to themselves forever, so they shared them anonymously in a recent Reddit thread. As someone outside the medical field, you may find these responses offer insight into the many heavy responsibilities those in the field carry.
If you work as a healthcare practitioner, feel free to share your own experiences in the comments below.
