Finding the Balance with Loni and Christine
Loni and Christine are physician assistants (PA) with backgrounds in Emergency Medicine and Primary Care who currently work as professors in higher education. Loni, seeing the end of the wellness line in the ER, and Christine, trying to prevent it in the office, have joined forces in discussing the topics of disease prevention and what it means to be well. Far beyond the bounds of a medical office, we are passionate about improving health literacy and increasing awareness of the daily changes we can make to maximize the quality of our lives. Finding the balance between the "coulds," "shoulds," and "woulds" of life is a quest worth embarking on. We do not have all the answers, but life is about the journey, and we look forward to sharing ours with you.

Episode 20: The Heart of Healing: The Importance of Bedside Manner
In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most crucial yet often overlooked aspects of healthcare: bedside manner. How you communicate and connect with your patients can profoundly impact their overall experience and well-being. We'll explore the relationship between bedside manner and patient motivation, difficult conversations, and real-life stories where bedside manner made all the difference. Join us as we uncover why good bedside manner is more than just a "nice-to-have"—it's essential for fostering trust, improving outcomes, and providing holistic care.
