Palliative Matters
How Doctors Think
What motivates doctors’ decision-making beyond evidence, knowledge, and experience? As Dr. John Mulder and Dr. Jason Beckrow discuss, our patient's wants and wishes should always be considered.

In this episode, the doctors share how we can mitigate negative motivators by putting the patient first.
