Presenter Abstracts
Civility Matters in Health Care
Too many people are crying – they are crying at work, or crying in their cars; before work, during their lunch hour or on the drive home. Rude behaviour at work is taking a toll on hospital staff; leaving some to ask themselves the evermore frequent question: “Did I make right choice to work in health care?”
