If not us, then who? The patient prospective on ports
In this episode of the ISaveThatPodcast Judy and Toni talk to Colleen Patterson about her life with vascular access needs. Following Colleen, Judy and Toni discuss the struggle of one family to get the most appropriate vascular access device for their child. This discussion comes from the home health nurse, Lee Gorschboth and the mom (caretaker) Mary Peckham. We as a community of clinicians need to do a better job of listening to our patients and families!
