In this episode, we’re leaning in to talk about that embarrassment from a clinical point of view. We’re discussing why talking about body parts and functions can feel so weird or abnormal or just plain hard to vocalize the question. .
My guest today is Angela Trackwell, nurse practitioner with Gateway Family Medicine.
Specifically this episode highlights:
Common embarrassing topics (that are actually quite common in the exam room)
A clinician’s perspective and tips to bring up hard topics
What to expect from your clinician during an exam
