 efforts to serve patients across urban and rural areas throughout the state,” she said.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p>

 The language we use in these situations needs to align with those emotional responses and communicate understanding, acknowledgment and comfort. There’s some preferred phrasing, but doctors need to be able to think on their feet.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p>
