Well done folks, it's such a vital topic for all in health care to understand. Have plans on how to manage and prevent it and LISTEN TO THE PERSON, before, during and after an episode.

Very sad to see @NFitzPsychology have to defend herself on this platform, a person who has always spread kindness and very wise thoughtful caring words! Remember folks if you have nothing nice to say then it would be always better to say nothing!!
Just want to stand up for myself for a moment (needs a click for full text).
