The Hospital experience

Description

A hospital is a place of healing and recovery. So why can the experience provoke feelings of anxiety, confusion, helplessness, and fear? This program will help relieve the stress of hospitalization by familiarizing you with what to expect. Topics include admittance procedures, your typical day in the hospital, interacting with your health care workers, and knowing your rights as a patient. As the program follows an actual patient through the process, social workers, nurses, doctors, and patient advocates discuss relevant issues along the way.
