How do we Talk about Illness?

Tip Of The Tongue

Available for over a year

Why does it seem so hard for medical staff to tell a patient she has cancer, so hard even to ennunciate the word? And why "declaring war" on disease is bad idea. Recorded and edited by B. Gormley and M. Springett – featuring Joyce Wadler, author of My Breast.
